In a poignant case from Chhattisgarh, the Supreme Court of India expressed its dismay over a man being compelled to seek legal recourse to bury his father according to Christian rites. The man was barred from interring his father in their village, prompting him to take his case to the apex court. The Supreme Court, led by Justice B.V. Nagarathna, noted the painful circumstances surrounding the situation, highlighting the failure of local authorities to resolve the burial issue. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and senior advocate Colin Gonsalves engaged in a heated debate during the proceedings, underscoring the complexities of the case.
