The petitioners filed I.A.No.117 of 2025 in O.P.No.114 of 2025
on the file of the Kerala State Waqf Board, seeking an order
restraining the respondents, namely, Puthutheruvu Muslim Jama-
ath and its President and Secretary, from demolishing the existing
mosque and stay of further proceedings on the basis of quotation
notice published on 07.03.2025. O.P.No.114 of 2025 was filed
challenging the tender proceedings and consequential steps
pursuant to the permission granted by the Divisional Waqf Officer,
by the order dated 22.10.2024, for the demolition of the existing
mosque structure and construction of a new mosque and for
recalling the said permission. The grievance of the petitioners is
that the mosque of Puthutheruvu Muslim Jama-ath is an ancient
mosque having antique and historic value, and that renovation,
rather than demolition, would suffice. It was alleged that adequate
deliberations were not held in the general body and that,
inconsistent versions were placed regarding the cost of
construction.
