What is the ruling on the mayor refusing to amend the session's minutes at the request of his colleagues, without the knowledge of the other members, believing that this constitutes a dereliction of trust and a violation of Allah's saying: ﴿And let a scribe write between you with justice﴾?

Your refusal of this request is justice that must not be compromised.
