Bombay High Court Rejects Challenge to Dawoodi Bohra Leader’s Appointment

The Bombay High Court has rejected a legal challenge to the appointment of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin as the spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community, emphasising the need for evidence over matters of faith. The suit, filed in 2014, had sought to invalidate Saifuddin’s appointment and prevent him from carrying out his responsibilities as Syedna. However, the court dismissed the suit, stating that it had made its decision based solely on the evidence presented and not on religious faith.
