Uniform Civil Code: There's total confusion, why don't you frame it, SC asks Centre
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday asked the central government to come up with a quick decision on uniform civil code to put an end to the continuing confusion over personal laws governing religious practices.
A bench headed by justice Vikramjit Sen told solicitor general Ranjit Kumar, "There is total confusion? we should work on the Uniform Civil Code. What happened to it? If you (government) want to do it, then you should do it. Why don't you frame and implement it."
in July, the top court had asked the Ministry of Law and Justice to file its reply and decide on the issue of amendment of sub Section (1) of Section 10A of the Divorce Act.
The apex court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by a Delhi-based man, challenging the legal provision that compels Christian couples to wait for at least two years for divorce, whereas this period of separation is one year for other religions.
