#MadhyaPradesh High Court recently heard a PIL alleging that All India Muslim Personal Law Board and their Quazi/Kazi are running a parallel judicial system.
The Petitioner had alleged that the Kazi are running their own courts and passing orders/decrees in personal matters.
Adil (the petitioner) had alleged that on his wife's application for divorce by "Khula" under 'Kanoon-A-Shariat', the Chief Quazi of Darul Kaza Chhawani, Indore, (#MadhyaPradesh) had granted the Talaq despite his opposition which is 'not permissible' under Indian judicial system.
However, refuting allegations of a parallel judicial system, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board had submitted that the personal law relating to marriage and its dissolution has to be governed by the personal law of Muslims in terms of their religious denominational texts.
Though, the Board had clarified that clear instructions have been given to Kazis who are appointed by the Board to not entertain the disputes wherein the parties have already approached the Court of Law or do not consent for an amicable resolution of the dispute. #Madhyapradesh
However, concluding the matter, the court held,
"If a Kazi entertains a dispute and acts as a mediator to settle the dispute between community members, that would be permissible but he cannot adjudicate the dispute like a court and pass an order like a decree." #Madhyapradesh

It has also rejected the appeal by NIA against the acquittal of 2 other accused persons in the matter, stating that, it finds "no reason to upset the finding of acquittal."
"Inexplicable violence as a retaliatory measure against establishments of State, based on religion and community, often questions the secular credentials of a society; particularly of this State which proudly proclaims itself to be the most literate in all of the Country."
