SC deletes part of Kerala HC order on Waqf Board

The Supreme Court recently changed a decision made by the Kerala High Court.

The High Court had said that the Kerala Waqf Board, which manages certain properties and funds for the Muslim community, had to be supervised by a government official and couldn't make big decisions without the court's permission.

The Supreme Court said that this supervision was not necessary and removed that part of the order.

However, the government official can still be a member of the Board.

The Supreme Court also asked the High Court to quickly decide the case after giving both sides a chance to present their arguments.

This change was made because the Supreme Court felt that the Board should be able to function normally and not be held back by issues related to its membership.
