Kerala HC denies stay on government order reconstituting State Waqf Board

The Kerala High Court has refused to stay the reconstitution of the Kerala State Waqf Board by the State government.

The Single Bench of Justice S. Manu considered two petitions filed by former board chairperson K.S. Hamza and member C.K. Usman Haji seeking the immediate intervention of the court. The court held that the State government possessed the implied authority to cancel appointments made to the previous board. However, the court stated that 'formidable contentions' had been raised in the petitions and said that the reconstitution order would be subject to the outcome of the petitions before it.
