Legal Commentary & Landmark Judgments: Section 301
Section 301 penalises trespassing on burial places, places of sepulture, places set apart for funeral rites, or offering indignity to human corpses with intent to wound religious feelings or insult religion.
Check land title records to establish that the land was legally consecrated or recognized as a graveyard or cremation ground. Indignity to dead bodies also violates fundamental rights under Article 21.
