Supreme Court hears the case where village residents oppose the burial of a Christian man in the graveyard of their village in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar

Son of deceased Ramesh Baghel, a farmer from a Scheduled Caste (SC) community, who has kept the body in a mortuary for 12 days now is before supreme court

Justice BV Nagarathna: Why cannot a person before buried where they wanted to. Body is in mortuary? We are sorry to say that A person has to come to supreme court for the burial of his father. The HC, panchayat etc are not able to solve the problem. The HC says there will be law and order problem.. we are pained at this.Image
SG Tushar Mehta: if the case is to be decided only on emotions then I have nothing to say, else let it be argued

Sr Adv Colin Gonsalves: see the real reason, burial not being allowed because the person had converted.

SG: Intention may be to make this a precedent for rest of country. There is burial ground for the tribals who are not Christians. Though they are not christians they bury their dead. When christians die, just 20 km away there is a christian burial ground and they take the dead their and bury them. This ground is a Hindu tribal burial ground. Thus rather than not being vehement that I will not go 20 kms away.. then there are laws..
Justice Nagarathna: but what about burying in own land?

SG: once you bury or cremate someone in a private land the character of land changes it becomes a sacred place and it also has health issues. That is not permitted.. cremation etc is not allowed in private lands

Justice Nagarathna: no no nothing remains after cremation...

SG: it is not about one person it is the beginning of something else.
