Dead man has right to early burial: Kerala HC
Kochi:17.12.2021
A decent burial of a dead body without unnecessary delay in completing legal formalities is part of constitutional right, the Kerala HC said on Thursday while ordering for conducting inquest and postmortem at night.
Justice PV Kunhikrishnan said : “…it is the duty of the state to complete the legal formalities forthwith if an unnatural death happened. The officials of the government should hand over the dead body to the kith and kin of the deceased person immediately. It is part of the fundamental right of a person under Article 21 of the Constitution of India to live with dignity and the dignity includes… the dignity following his death.” TNN
