Quashing of Munambam judicial commission’s appointment plunges land issue into further legal complications
The HinduThe quashing of the appointment of the C. N. Ramachandran Nair judicial commission on Munambam land issue has once again plunged the vexing issue, which has even threatened to upset the communal amity in the State, into further uncertainties. Though the Kerala government, represented by its Advocate General, keenly contested the petition of the Kerala Waqf Land Samrakshana Vedi for the dissolution of Mr. Nair’s appointment before the Kerala High Court, the court found merit in the contentions of Vedi and ruled in its favour. Incidentally, Mr. Nair had voluntarily suspended the functioning of the commission during the second week of February, when the petition challenging his appointment came up before the Kerala High Court. While the Waqf Samrakshana Samithi, another organisation fighting for the protection of Waqf properties, welcomed the court decision, Joseph Benny Kuruppassery, the convener of the Land Protection Samithi, has sought an intervention from the State government to resolve the issue.
