Capping a decade-long legal battle, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday dismissed the petition challenging the position of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin as the religious head of the Dawoodi Bohra community. The plea was filed by Syedna s nephew Taher Fakhruddin.
The court has only decided on the issue of proof and not faith , a single bench of Justice Gautam Patel said and dismissed the suit initially filed by Khuzaima Qutbuddin soon after his brother and the then Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin passed away in January 2014 at the age of 102.
