In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of an appeal concerning a Muslim burial ground in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh. A High Court had previously granted 2.49 acres for this purpose, but the State had not taken steps to provide additional land as the Muslim population grew. The Court held that the State must identify and allocate suitable land based on the community's mortality rate and future needs, consult affected parties within two months, and hand over the land to the Madhya Pradesh Wakf Board. The Court clarified that the existing 2.49 acres would remain unaffected.
