According to Justice Ramachandran, the report constitutes 75 pages and has been ready for submission since Monday. "We had to find a suitable time from the CM to submit the report. On Wednesday, soon after the cabinet meeting, I met the chief minister and submitted the report," Justice Ramachandran said.

The judicial commission was appointed in November 2024 to examine the dispute over 404 acres of land in Munambam after a claim emerged that it was 'waqf' land. The commission was tasked with finding a "permanent solution" for the residents of the Munambam area. "Now the ball is in the state government's court," Justice Ramachandran told TNIE.

As to the recommendations made in the report, he said, "All the recommendations made are aimed at protecting the rights of Munambam residents."
