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. 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..
