New Delhi: The Delhi High Court was hearing the issue of triple talaq when article 44 was raised and the court in a way supported the Common Civil Code. The High Court said that today, India's society is almost the same, traditions are breaking down, so the common civil code can be considered. The BJP has been raising the issue strongly since its inception, though the opposition has been seeing communal color in the matter.
Referring to a direction issued by the apex court in 1985, the Delhi High Court said that the matter was not taken seriously even after more than 30 years. Former Chief Justice of the apex court SA Bobde had also praised the Uniform Civil Code of Goa. Speaking at the inauguration of the High Court building in Goa, he had said that Goa already has a uniform civil code which was conceived by the framers of the Constitution.
Part IV of the Constitution mentions the Directive Principle of Policy of the State. Through Articles 36 to 51, suggestions have been made to the State on various important issues and it is expected that the State will take into account these directive elements while laying down their policies. Article 44 directs the State to create a 'Uniform Civil Code' for all religions in due time. Article 44 aims to further strengthen coordination between various cultural groups across the country by eliminating the problem of discrimination against weaker sections.
