The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
Already there are approximately 26 million cases which are still pending in courts in India for past several years. Now that by banning Triple Talaq and by bringing in the UCC, the supreme Court and the Central Govt of India will be even making matters worse. It will be more burdensome for the courts to settle the cases in a time bound manner and many women & men will be waiting for court cases to be resolved while their money is wasted, sandals and slipplers are worn out, finally their cases will be still pending till they near to the grave. Instead Govt should call all the Muslim community across India in finding a solution to grant justice to Muslim women in a fair and just manner. My suggestion to the Govt would be to appoint Judges within the MPLB to solve the cases of marriage and Divorce, such that the Triple Talaq would not be abused and misused by Muslim men who are seeking for divorce.
