The Waqf Protection Committee and the family of Sathar Settu have also requested to be included in the case.
The dispute dates back to 2019 when the Waqf Board declared the land in Munambam, sold by Farook College management, as Waqf property and registered it in the Waqf register. The sale was also recorded by the sub-registrar’s office. In response, Farook College challenged the Waqf Board’s decision before the tribunal, arguing that the land had been received as a donation. The tribunal will issue its final decision after hearing from all the parties involved.
