|January 23, 2025
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it expected an amicable settlement and a decent burial of a pastor whose body was lying in a mortuary since January 7 as it reserved its verdict on his son's plea who was allegedly not allowed to bury his father in Chhindawada village of Chhattisgarh following opposition by the local villagers.
NEW DELHI:
Holding that there should be a designated place for people of each religion to bury their dead, the bench headed by Justice BV Nagarathna said, "What we are concerned with is that there should be a graveyard exclusively for Christians which is properly designated and marked, and where there is no interference, interruption or objection from anybody."
