To: The Chairman and Trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet they should or should not do, but, clearly, Fatwas are alien to our faith and cannot be 29th July 2014 accepted. A person can choose to be guided by the High Priests or choose not to be Dear Mr. , so guided. In any event, the Trustees cannot act beyond their powers or against the We were appalled to read an article in the last issue of Parsi Times titled “This case terms of the Trust Deed. This is what you have done. The choice of disposal of mortal goes much beyond just banning 2 Renegade Priests….” authored by two of your Trustees remains, the choice of priest to offer prayers at the sad moment of death are matters Mr. Khojeste Mistree and Yazdi Desai. The article is nothing but a concoction of half- best left to the families of the deceased and others cannot and should not interfere truths and misleading statements cleverly put together in order to mislead and confuse an ZLWKWKHVHGLIÀFXOWGHFLVLRQVOHDVWRIDOOWKH%33DWWKHSDLQIXOSRLQWRIVHSDUDWLRQ unsuspecting reader. It creates an impression that the BPP have no option today but to go from loved ones. back to court,which is completely incorrect. The reader has not been given the slightest Moreover, all the BPP Trustees are fully aware and have been given a copy of a indication that in the intervening period of 3 years there have been over 20 settlement written opinion of a very learned and respected former Judge of the Supreme Court meetings and that till recently there was a well-thought-out and painstakingly crafted (Srikrishna) that the Judgment of the Division Bench of the Bombay High Court has no settlement under consideration between us, which addresses the majority of the concerns bearing whatsoever on the authority of the High Priests. In fact there is no mention of (and canards) raised in the said article. In fact, the Trustees kept calling us for settlement High Priests or their authority in the entire judgment, as neither the High Priests nor meetings, which was obviously only a sham. their authority was ever a question before the court. It makes us wonder why these two gentlemen sat with us and participated in these 4. It has time and again been pointed out by us that role of the BPP is unambiguously mediation discussions (often extremely unpleasant) for over 3 long years. It also amazes circumscribed by a Trust Deed – the General Deed of Trust of 1884, which makes it us as to how they managed to ‘convince’ 3 of your other Trustees to side with them in abundantly clear that there is an obligation cast on the Trustees to at all times“permit favour of returning to court.

Let us be clear that the Trustees issued an unprecedented ‘FATWA’ and that is what This is obligation is irrefutable and has been in force for 130 years. started these proceedings. We have been very clear from the beginning that it was not 5. The so-called “5DPLÀFDWLRQVRIWKH2UGHU” (of the Division Bench of the Bombay High the banning of the two priests in particular, which we challenged, but the concept behind Court) is the most seriously misleading part of the entire article. It is ironic today it viz. the Trustees imposing their will on members of the Community and taking away that it was these same persons, not us, who agitated the very same issues before the freedom of choice, which is the fundamental basis of the matter. Such a ‘FATWA’ the High Court, and, are now attempting to place the consequences of doing so at has never been issued in the past. These two Trustees are fully aware that this is the our door. They chose to use these arguments as a ploy (claiming “serious religious heart of the matter, and yet have chosen to mislead the public by pretending that it is implications”) in order to get our originating summons dismissed. Religion was used Ervads Madan and Mirza which are the reason for the dispute. These two gentlemen and (or rather misused) as a mere legal strategy to win a case,when the only issue before all of you have a duty as Trustees for transparency and honesty to the members of the the court was a simple interpretation of a Trust Deed. It was sought to be widened Community. You cannot mislead in this manner. We believe you are today duty bound to by the introduction of these same issues, by these same gentlemen, who now allege LVVXHDFODULÀFDWLRQWRWKHDUWLFOHSXEOLVKHGIDLOLQJZKLFKHDFKRI\RXZRXOGEHIDLOLQJLQ (incorrectly) that the judgment damages our faith. your duty and responsibility to the Community.

There is great giving an incorrect impression. For 3 years, the Trustees have informed the Supreme wisdom in this judgment and we would request each of you to read it once again for Court that they wanted a settlement of the matter and sought adjournments. Is this also yourselves. a false statement made by you to the highest Court of this land? From the very outset, For your convenience we enclose 2 important extracts from the said judgment: we had made it clear that the fundamental basis of the Appeal Court Judgment would “18. The Trust Deed plainly makes three things abundantly clear.

It has been staged and restaged ever since the composer’s centenary in 1756, and in particular with more elaborate worldwide productions on the occasion of Purcell’s 350th birthday in 2009. The fully staged opera contains variety, and a certain humor alongside the pathos, and includes dances, choruses and instrumental numbers. It is particularly to be appreciated by audiences less familiar with heavyweight operatic works. If that is not reason enough to watch this masterpiece, then know that three Parsis are going to perform as soloists and choristers in this opera:
