SC Stays Kerala HC Order on Munambam Waqf Land, Orders Status Quo

• Supreme Court stayed a Kerala High Court order declaring Munambam property as not Waqf land.
• The SC ordered status quo on the Munambam property until January 27.
• The SC did not stay the HC's upholding of a one-member Commission of Inquiry into the property's status.
• The interim order followed a Special Leave Petition by the Kerala Waqf Samrakshana Vedi.
• Petitioner argued the High Court erred by ruling on Waqf deed validity, as it falls under the Waqf Tribunal's jurisdiction.

Why It Matters: SC temporarily restores Munambam property's Waqf land status.
