The Bombay High Court has dismissed a decade-long challenge to the leadership of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, the spiritual head of the Dawoodi Bohra community. The dispute stemmed from the succession process within the community, where the successor to the al-Dai al-Mutlaq (supreme religious leader) is appointed through “divine inspiration”. The rival claimant, Khuzaima Qutbuddin, argued that he had been secretly appointed as successor by the previous al-Dai al-Mutlaq, Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin, in 1965. However, the court found that Qutbuddin’s claim lacked witnesses and that the nass had been subsequently revoked. The court also dismissed Qutbuddin’s argument that as the Dai is “infallible”, the appointment of successor – which had already been conferred upon him – could not have been changed. The court’s verdict reaffirms the authority of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin and resolves a prolonged legal challenge to his leadership.
