The Bombay High Court held that citizens do not have a fundamental right to demand cremation at a specific location, as the responsibility to provide crematoriums lies with planning authorities like CIDCO. CIDCO had already established a fully functional crematorium about 3.5 km from the disputed site. The court noted, based on photographic evidence, that nearby societies were located close to the designated cremation ground. The villagers’ concern about having to travel a longer distance was deemed insufficient to justify retaining the current crematorium. The court allowed the petition, directing authorities to utilize the land as per the Sanctioned Development Plans and applicable laws, thereby disallowing the continued use of the disputed plots for cremation purposes.
