more-inThe Bombay High Court on Monday told the State government not to “discriminate in death” and directed it to identify an alternate plot for a Christian cemetery by November 17. Sonak was hearing a public interest litigation filed by United Christian Community Centre, a charitable trust. According to the plea, in 1998 the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had allotted a plot for the Christian community at Akurli village in Kandivili (East). However, they did not build a boundary wall to separate the Muslim and the Christian burial grounds. How can the allotment of a plot for a Christian cemetery be cancelled just like that, for no apparent reason?”
