Indian court tells Apple to 'cooperate' in antitrust case

K. Sudhakaran, MP, tendered an unconditional apology before the Kerala High Court on Monday regarding his remarks about the High Court Bench that had quashed a single judge’s verdict that ordered a CBI probe into the murder of Youth Congress leader S.P. Shuhaib.The apology was made in an affidavit submitted to the High Court on a contempt of court petition filed against him. The petition alleged that Mr. Sudhakaran’s statements amounted to an “imputation against the judiciary”.Mr. Sudhakaran admitted to making derogatory statements against the Kerala High Court at a public function and stated that the remarks were of “a purely momentary and impulsive nature and were not the result of calculated, malicious intent”. He had made the alleged statement while inaugurating a protest march by Congress workers to the Chavakkad police station. Published - June 22, 2026 11:52 pm IST

Watch: Congress ends suspense: V. D. Satheesan to be next Kerala CM | Above the Fold | 14.05.2026

image for representation only | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Kerala Waqf Board has maintained that the refusal of managing committee of Farook College, Kozhikode, the mutawalli (manager) of Munambam holding and others to upload the property details to the central portal forced to post the data as mandated by law.However, those in the managing committee defended the decision not to post the data by stating that Munambam was not a Waqf property and hence the information was not uploaded on the portal, thus adding a new twist to the raging controversy.The uploading of the property details on the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency, and Development (UMEED) portal set up by the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs for the registration, real-time verification, and monitoring of Waqf properties had run into a controversy with a section of the Church, the residents of Munambam and Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan objecting to it. Mr. Satheesan and the action council of the residents blamed the board for the recent flare-up.Mr. Satheesan, who had earlier claimed that he would resolve the issue “in 10 minutes” of assuming power, criticised the developments as a malicious act of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government carried out during the fag end of its term to trouble the new government. He also alleged that the acts of the board, which was appointed by the LDF government, was a politically motivated one.Incidentally, litigations are being fought in different courts, including the Supreme Court, over the nature of the holding following the suo motu registration of the property as a Waqf by the board in 2019 by invoking the provisions of the Waqf Act. This led to the residents challenging the decision before the Waqf Tribunal.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court stayed the decision of a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court which declared that the Munambam holding was not a Waqf property on an appeal filed by the board and an agency campaigning for the restoration of the alienated Waqf holdings. The dispute had earlier threatened to grow into a social and communal issue in the State, with various stakeholders and political parties taking sides.Board’s standBoard sources said notices were issued to all the mutawallis, including that of the Munambam, on October 18, 2025 and 21 November 2025 asking them to upload the relevant details as mandated by the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025. Advertisements and press releases were issued asking the mutawallies to comply with the central rule. Training programmes were also organised to facilitate the uploading of data.The board was forced to upload the details of around 200 Waqf properties, including Munambam, as its mutawallies failed to comply with the instructions. The details of the litigations pending before various courts regarding Waqf properties, including Munambam, were also uploaded as required by law, the sources said.The board officials said details of nearly 85% of the Waqfs in the State have been provided. The uploading of data of Waqf from Thiruvananthapuram to Thrissur has been completed. The details of the Waqf in northern districts need to be posted, sources said.Responding to the developments, board chairperson K.S. Hamsa said the information was posted as required by law. Sharing the information on the portal will have no impact on the status of the holding or the cases pending before the courts. The board was fulfilling its legal requisites as the Farook College failed to provide the information to the portal, Mr. Hamsa said.Farook College’s positionMeanwhile, sources in the Farook College managing committee defended the decision not to upload the data by stating that the holding was not a Waqf and hence was out of the purview of the Act.The committee had been consistently maintaining that the Munambam land was not a Waqf and there was no need to furnish the data. However, the details of Waqf properties, which are managed by the committee, were uploaded on the portal, a commi

CBSE schools in Thiruvananthapuram fare well in CBSE Class X exam

The decision has made it possible for fitness inspections to continue so that schools in Kerala can reopen on June 1. (image for representation) | Photo Credit: RAMAKRISHNA G The Kerala government has decided to exempt Local Self-Government department (LSGD) assistant engineers from inspecting school wiring and other electrical works. Instead, schools can get these certified by licensed wiremen.The decision was taken at a meeting to review the school fitness matters attended by Minister for General Education N. Samsudheen, Principal Secretary Sharmila Mary Joseph, Director of General Education Asif K. Yusuf. An order in this regard is yet to be issued though.In a revised checklist issued along with a circular by Ms. Joseph on May 13, assistant engineers were directed to inspect electrical wiring, ensure transformers were properly fenced, check that there were no exposed or hazardous electric posts or wires near schools, and verify that fire extinguishers had been installed.According to the May 13 circular, the safety inspections had to be conducted by the assistant engineer and the health inspector (for health and sanitation aspects) and the checklist had to be signed by them as well as the school principal or head teacher. However, assistant engineers had objected to inspection of electrical wiring safety (if old or damaged wiring should be replaced).Now, these can be inspected by a licensed wireman and the assistant engineers can issue the fitness certificate as in previous years.The decision has made it possible for fitness inspections to continue so that schools can reopen on June 1.A recent Kerala Administrative Tribunal order that the assistant engineers should not be compelled to issue no-objection certificates till May 29 had raised widespread concerns that fitness certification would come to a halt and schools would not be able to reopen on June 1.Assistant engineers had contended in KAT that they would not be in a position to ascertain school safety at levels done earlier by departments such as Health, Forest and Wildlife, Motor Vehicles, Kerala State Electricity Board/Electrical Inspectorate, and Fire and Rescue Services. This would result in serious threat to the safety of schools, they said.However, the KAT order was applicable only to the four applicants, officials said. Published - May 26, 2026 12:50 pm IST
