The Taliparamba Waqf Board officially holds 339.17 acres in the region but the current managing committee possesses only 82.72 acres, leaving over 250 acres unaccounted for. Hundreds of houses and institutions including the Taliparamba Municipal Office, Taliparamba Cooperative Hospital, and sections of Syed Nagar, Farooq Nagar, Manna, Andakala in Karimbathu, and Sadhu Mutti are located on disputed waqf land. Historically, Taliparamba had 604 acres of waqf land; much was distributed among relatives during early Muthawalli Trust management. A 2022 report by three Waqf Board officials recommended surveying the land but no follow-up action was taken. An audit revealed missing income and expenditure records for Seethi Sahib Higher Secondary School under Taliparamba Jamaat Trust for 2013-21. A controversy involves 25 acres leased to Sir Syed College; the court found the college belongs to Taliparamba Jamaat Trust but CDMEA president is attempting to transfer waqf land to it. The Waqf Protection Committee staged a protest march demanding government action to reclaim and restore lands to the Waqf Board.
