Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Claim of a person for entitlement to the office of Sajjadanashin, on the plea that he had made improvements on Darbar/Shrine and had regularly been arranging meals, for the visitors of shrine was untenable and misconceived
Such act had never been considered relevant for appointment of Sajjadanashin mostly the Shrines are built and improvements/construction raised thereon were through donations of followers/Mureeds, but they (Mureeds) had no say in the appointment of Sajjadanashin.
Such appointment is not governed under Islamic law or on the principles of primogeniture and rests solely within the discretion of the incumbent Sajjadanashin.
To succeed to a spiritual office of Sajjadanashin, one has to establish his fitness, at least in the eyes of incumbent.
Auqaf Department has no authority to appoint a Sajjadanashin.
Late Sajjadanashin and claimant had strained relations in his life time and he had not considered the claimant to succeed to a spiritual office
Claimant had not announced/claimed his appointment, on the occasion of Qul or Chehlum of deceased, rather absented himself from these ceremonies for a simple reason that he had no valid claim to make
No justification existed in such strained relationship for nomination of the claimant as Sajjadanashin
One can be installed or nominated in a spiritual office only when appointer considers him to be pious, righteous and faithful.
Mere a solitary event does not entitle a person to claim succession, when his subsequent conduct contradicts his previous act.
