NEW DELHI: All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has challenged Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand HC. The board issued a statement on Friday to say HC had admitted its petition and the case was listed for hearing on April 1 along with petitions filed earlier challenging different provisions of the Code.
Spokesperson SQR Ilyas said AIMPLB’s petition argued that UCC violated the Constitution and went against Muslim personal law. “AIMPLB, through 10 different individuals, filed a petition in Uttarakhand HC challenging the Code. These individuals are affected parties and a few of them are also associated with AIMPLB,” the board said.
