Dawoodi Bohra Succession Suit in the Bombay High Court - Final Arguments Continue

24 December 2022

The Plaintiff’s Counsel, Mr. Anand Desai presented arguments from 28th November until the morning of 7th December. The Defendant’s Senior Counsels, Mr. Iqbal Chagla, Mr. Janak Dwarkadas, and Mr. Fredun DeVitre then began the Defendant’s arguments, which are still continuing.

The Hon’ble Justice Patel has set further dates from 11th January 2023 onwards, where he will again take up this matter at 4:30pm. Mr. Dwarkadas is expected to complete presenting arguments on the alleged conferrals of nass on the Defendant by 16th January 2023, after which Mr. DeVitre will present arguments regarding the possibility of revocation or change of nass. The Plaintiff’s Counsel, Mr. Desai, will then address the Defendant’s arguments in rejoinder.

During this important time, Syedna Fakhruddin TUS urges Mumineen to remain calm and maintain decorum to ensure the Hon’ble Bombay High Court can hear this matter without interference.

Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS irshaad that Mumineen do “Hasbunallahu wa ne'mal wakeel” Tasbih (450 times), pray “Nasr-wal-Mahaba” & other doas, & take out Nazrul Maqam AS. Syedna Fakhruddin TUS irshaad also that Mumineen pray for the unity of the community. May Allah Taala grant Syedna Fakhruddin TUS Nasr-e-Aziz & Fath-e-Mubeen.

How can we help?
