In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of an appeal by Muslims seeking recognition of land as a burial ground. The High Court had granted 2.49 acres for this purpose, but the community argued additional land was needed due to increasing death rates. The Court upheld the existing grant and ordered the State of Madhya Pradesh to identify and allocate supplementary suitable land on Khargone's outskirts. The State must assess burial needs based on mortality records, consult the community and Wakf Board, and communicate its allocation decision within two months.",
