"The Court shall not surrender to the opinions of the Islamic clergy, who have no legal training on the point of law," said #KeralaHighCourt while dismissing a review petition challenging its decision on Muslim women's right to invoke the remedy of #khula. Image
Authoring the verdict for the division bench, Justice A.Muhamed Mustaque stated, "This is a typical review portraying that Muslim women are subordinate to the will of their male counterparts."

"This review appears to have been fashioned and supported by clergies and the hegemonic masculinity of the Muslim community who are unable to digest the declaration of the right of Muslim women to resort to the extra-judicial divorce of khula, unilaterally", the judge said.
HC rejects contention of Adv Hussain that Court is not competent to decide on religious beliefs & it ought to have followed opinion of Islamic Scholars; Upholds unequivocal right of muslim women to give "Khula" or conditional divorce @Gautam_Adv28 reports

ECI must replace political party symbols with the identity of the candidate, plea says.
@AshwiniUpadhyay
Counsel: Up until 1968 there was no such practice. Post the 10th schedule and the Representation People’s Act it came.
When a political leader goes to jail, the people choose their leader, who could be anybody an academician, a teacher. Party symbols interferes with the identity.
