Graveyard, Under the Mahomedan Law the graveyards may be of two kinds - a family or private graveyard and a public graveyard. A graveyard is a private one which is confined only to burial of corpses of the founder, his relations or his descendants. In such a burial ground no person who does not belong to the family of the founder is permitted to be bury to his dead. On the other hand if any member of the public is permitted to be buried in a graveyard and this practice grows so that it is proved by instances adequate in character, number and extent, then the presumption will be that the dedication is complete and the graveyard has become a public graveyard where the Mahomedan public will have the right to bury their dead. It is also well settled that a conclusive proof of the public graveyard is the description of the burial ground in the revenue records as a public graveyard, Syed Mohd. Salie Labbai v. Mohd.
