In principle, Centre supports PILs for uniform personal laws

Appearing for Muslim organisations and individuals, Kapil Sibal told a bench of CJI Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala he had preliminary objections to the maintainability of these PILs led by one filed by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay. "The issues squarely fall within the domain of the government, Parliament or state legislature. How can the SC deal with it? It has no jurisdiction to legislate. The SC shouldn't be seen passing any order in these issues," Sibal said.
