Overview

• The judicial commission, led by retired Justice CN Ramachandran Nair, suggests the Kerala government acquire disputed land in Munambam under the Waqf Act to settle the ongoing conflict.
• The proposed resolution aims to safeguard residents, who claim legal ownership with registered deeds, while compensating the Waqf Board for any losses incurred.
• Government intervention is seen as a potential catalyst for negotiations between the Waqf Board and Farook College, which sold the land to residents.
• The commission has ruled out evicting or rehabilitating residents, deeming such measures impractical and emphasizing the state's duty to protect them.
• The commission's final report will be submitted to the Kerala High Court, which will determine the implementation of the recommendations.
