Karnataka High Court Urges Implementation Of Uniform Civil Code

The High Court of Karnataka has appealed to Parliament and state legislatures to move forward with the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), calling it a crucial step toward realising the Constitutional ideals of justice, equality, secularism, and national unity.

The comment was made by the single bench of Justice Sanjiv Kumar during the hearing of a case related to a property dispute.

The case was related to the partition of the property of a Muslim woman, Shahnaz Begum, after her death, in which the woman's husband and her siblings were parties.
