Section 52A of Waqf Act has no retrospective effect: Kerala HC

The Kerala High Court ruled that Section 52A of the Waqf Act, penalizing unauthorized waqf property alienation, isn't retrospective. Two individuals, accused of illegally occupying waqf property in Kozhikode before the law's 2013 enactment, had their cases quashed. The court clarified the section doesn't apply to possession predating its implementation.
