Syedna Saifuddin is Dawoodi Bohra spiritual head: Bombay high court

Bombay HC brought closure to a decade-long legal dispute concerning the succession of the Syedna, the esteemed spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community, which boasts over a million followers. Justice Gautam Patel, presiding over a single-judge bench, ruled on a suit filed in 2014 by the half-brother of the late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, the 52nd Da'i al-Mutlaq, asserting his appointment as the rightful successor to the paramount spiritual role within the Shia sect.
