Supreme Court backs Uniform Civil Code, urges legislative action

In a landmark development, the Supreme Court signalled support for a Uniform Civil Code, signaling that Parliament should consider reforms to personal law to promote equality.

The decision intensifies the public policy debate on personal laws and invites legislative action to address areas where discrimination may persist. Legal experts noted that any UCC legislation would require broad consensus and careful balancing of constitutional rights and religious freedoms, with Parliament responsible for drafting balanced reform that respects diverse beliefs while advancing equal rights.
