Legal proceedings advanced on June 8, 2026, with a new judicial or agency decision.
The Bombay Bar Association condemned threats against former judge Gautam Patel’s family after an attack on his daughter in London.
Patel had presided over a nine-year Dawoodi Bohra succession dispute before retiring from the Bombay High Court.
The bar demanded action from U.K. and Indian authorities to protect jurists and their relatives.
Legal bodies said intimidation linked to commercial succession litigation undermines judicial independence across borders.
Justice Patel had issued rulings in the Syedna succession matter that drew strong reactions from community factions.
