Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court

In the presence of this lady STS mentioned to her "Do you want to see 53th Dai ? and he pointed it out to SKQ who was present along with SMS who was Mazoon then. I am sure STS wanted SKQ to be the 53rd da'i. This is clear from many things. He may also have told SMB to do nass on him, which SMB...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court

Here is the final part of the plea made by SKQ (and carried over by STF) to the Mumbai court. Before I present it below, a few comments: The FD side has agreed not to file any other suite anywhere on the Earth till this Mumbai case is over. Apparently, they tried to file something in Utah (god knows...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court

When billions of dollars are involved, nothing is beyond possibility. In fact, SKQ himself said that one reason why SMB did not openly declare the nass was the "swords would be drawn". Also, SKQ claimed that there were three attempts on his life. I have seen bomb squads sweeping the masjid...
