Civil Courts Can Execute Decrees Despite Formation of Waqf Tribunal: Kerala High Court

The Kerala High Court ruled that civil courts retain the authority to execute decrees even after the formation of Waqf Tribunals. This decision came in response to petitions questioning the jurisdiction of civil courts over matters involving waqf properties. The court clarified that while Waqf Tribunals have exclusive jurisdiction over specific waqf-related disputes, civil courts can still execute decrees issued in such cases. This ruling ensures continuity in the enforcement of legal judgments and provides clarity on the roles of different judicial bodies in handling waqf property disputes.
