Supreme Court stays Kerala HC declaration on Munambam land

The Supreme Court on Friday (December 12, 2025) stayed a Kerala High Court order which struck down the registration of the contentious Munambam holding as a Waqf property, and ordered status quo over the disputed property.

A Bench of Justices Manoj Misra and Ujjal Bhuyan clarified that it has not stayed the direction of the High Court upholding the government order appointing an inquiry commission to ascertain ownership of the disputed area.

The order was passed in a petition filed by Kerala Waqf Samrakshana Vedhi challenging the High Court order.
