UCC | ‘Violates Fundamental Rights of Muslims’: Uttarakhand HC Seeks Centre, State Reply on Pleas Against Uniform Civil Code

The Uttarakhand High Court Today (Feb 12) sent notices to the Central and State governments regarding multiple petitions challenging the recently implemented Uniform Civil Code (UCC). Petitioners argue that the UCC violates fundamental rights under the Constitution, interferes with religious practices, and imposes unconstitutional restrictions on marriage and live-in relationships. The court has combined similar petitions and will hear the matter after six weeks.
