It seeks directions from authorities to relocate the mortal remains to a secret location, if necessary, to prevent glorification of terrorism and misuse of the jail premises.
It adds that the Delhi Prison Rules require the bodies of executed prisoners to be disposed of in a way that prevents glorification, ensures prison discipline, and upholds public order.
Allowing permanent graves inside the prison, it argues, is a clear breach of this mandate.
It also points out that neither the Delhi Prison Act, 2000 nor the Delhi Prisons Rules, 2018 provide for the burial of convicts inside prisons.
Nowhere does it permit the construction of permanent graves or shrines inside prison premises.
