MOHAMMAD LATIEF MAGREY vs THE UNION TERRITORY OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of disinterment of a deceased individual, focusing on the legal principles surrounding the disturbance of graves. The court emphasized the presumption against changing the resting place of the dead unless substantial reasons are provided. The appeal was filed by the father of the deceased, challenging the High Court's decision that modified an earlier ruling regarding the disinterment of his son, who was killed in a police encounter.
