Muslim body moves SC, seeks to intervene in plea against burial of coronavirus victims

The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has moved the Supreme Court seeking to intervene in a plea of a Mumbai resident which opposes the burial of people who have succumbed to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), in a graveyard near his residence. Mumbai-resident Pradeep Ghandy has moved the top court after his plea was rejected by the Bombay High Court on April 27. He had argued that the burial of COVID-19 patients in the graveyard in Bandra West would spread to the outbreak of the virus in the adjoining areas.
