Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Koujumma's appeal against the Kerala High Court's January 4, 2005 judgment. The respondent had filed an eviction petition against the tenant before the Wakf Tribunal, which was decreed. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and dismissed the eviction petition, holding that Wakf Tribunals lack jurisdiction to entertain eviction petitions against tenants, following the precedent in *Ramesh Gobindram v. Sugra Humayun Mirza Wakf*. The respondent was permitted to pursue appropriate proceedings before the competent forum. No costs awarded.
