Qutbuddin, a half-brother of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin and a rival claimant to the title of Dai-al-Mutlaq, claimed that his half-brother appointed him heir in 1965 while conferring on him the title of "mazoon".[6][7] Contrary to the claim, Mufaddal Saifuddin son of late Burhanuddin claimed that his father had declared "nass" (succession) on him in London on 4 June 2011, and many times before.[8][9][10][11] On 23 April 2024, the Bombay high court dismissed the suit challenging Mufaddal Saifuddin's position as the 53rd Dai-al-Mutlaq of the Dawoodi Bohra Community. The court dismissed the claim by Taher Fakhruddin (son of Khuzaima Qutbuddin) and upheld Mufaddal as Dai-ul-Mutlaq.[12]
