Politics around the uniform civil code

The Hindu  

In July, the Delhi High Court made a strong pitch for a uniform civil code. “The hope expressed in Article 44 of the Constitution that the state shall secure for its citizens Uniform Civil Code ought not to remain a mere hope,” the court said. The noted legal expert Tahir Mahmood had then responded with a statement to PTI news agency: “The mawkish references to the majority community’s supposed role in uniform civil code and the admonition to the minorities—both contained in the main judgment – make it too obvious a fact to be refuted that the court shares with the masses the myth regarding non-enactment of a uniform civil code by way of ‘appeasement’ of the minorities, despite the majority community’s clear option and commitment in its favour.” The pot has since been kept simmering. Earlier this year, the then Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde lauded Goa for its uniform civil code and advised intellectuals to visit the State and “learn the administration of justice”. Last year, the Law Commission concluded that a uniform civil code is neither feasible nor desirable.” Technically speaking, Article 44, as a directive principle, is not justiciable.
