Overview
- The plea, filed by Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Sangh and Jitendra Singh, urges removal of the graves from the Tihar Jail premises or transfer of the remains to an undisclosed site.
- The filing claims the on-site burials contravene the Delhi Prisons Rules, 2018, which require disposal practices that deter veneration and protect prison discipline.
- The petition alleges the graves have become a "radical pilgrimage" point that risks public order and prison security.
- Past cases involving Ajmal Kasab and Yakub Memon are cited as precedent for handling executed convicts' remains to avoid glorification.
- The case was lodged through Advocate Barun Kumar Sinha, with no hearing date yet listed, though counsel indicated the matter could be taken up on the High Court's usual PIL day.
