The petition was filed by Dargah Hazrat Mulla Syed, Prayagraj.
The counsel for the Dargah submitted that the deceased had been appointed its Sajada Nasheen (successor or hereditary administrator who acts as custodian or trustee of Sufi shrine).
“For the Sajada Nasheen, the person has to be buried within the precincts of dargah. He has no followers in Pakistan or family. He is the Sajada Nasheen of the dargah here. His grave can be properly tendered to here. The aircraft rules also do not allow differentiation between citizen and non citizens.”
The Court, however, asked who will exhume the body.
“Who will exhume it now?”
It eventually proceeded to dismiss the plea.
