The decision to establish the shariat court for speedy and fair settlement of family disputes as well as issues affecting the Muslim community was announced recently[when?] in Mangalore by Kanthapuram[clarification needed] Aboobacker Musaliar, Sunni leader and general secretary of the Sunni Scholars’ Organisation of India.
A spokesperson quoted Musaliar as saying that the proposed court would be bound by existing laws and legal luminaries were being consulted for its formation. A committee would be formed soon for the purpose.[when?][1]
