"Country Needs Uniform Civil Code": Karnataka High Court Urges Its Implementation
The Karnataka High Court has urged both the Parliament and State Legislatures to make a concerted effort to enact a law that would bring about a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), emphasising its importance in upholding the constitutional vision of equality, secularism, and justice for all citizens-especially women.
The strong recommendation came from a single-judge bench presided over by Justice Hanchate Sanjeev Kumar while ruling on a civil appeal involving a property dispute among siblings and the husband of a late Muslim woman, Shahnaz Begum.
