Judgment text as reported

MOMAN KHAN VS The PROVINCE OF PUNJAB through Senior Member Board of Revenue Punjab, Lahore Facilitation of prompt burial---Religious obligation---Administrative duty---Scope---It is incumbent upon the authorities to facilitate the religious duty of burial of a Muslim rather than obstruct it---The sanctity and the necessity of prompt burial of the deceased are emphasized in Islam and imposition of any administrative condition would cause delay or complicates the process of burial and same is contrary to injunctions of Islam---The principles of Islam (Quran and Sunnah) have embosomed universal and eternal guidance in every walk of life for all the generations to come and Islam does not differentiate between residents, non-residents, caste, colour and divergent fiscal status in matters of religious rites, especially regarding the burial of a Muslim---Denial of burial of non-residents is not only unjust in legal terms but also violative to the moral and ethical foundations laid down in the Shariah.
