`No move for uniform civil code'
By Our Legal Correspondent
NEW DELHI,
JULY 9.
The Centre today informed the Lok Sabha that there was no proposal to bring forward a law to provide for a uniform civil code.
In a written reply, the Union Law Minister, H.R. Bhardwaj, said the Supreme Court in its judgment dated July 21 in the John Vallamattom vs Union of India case had made certain observations in respect of enactment of a uniform civil code.
He said the move involved changes in the personal laws including those of the minority communities. It had been the consistent policy of the Centre not to interfere with the personal laws of the minority communities unless the necessary initiatives for such changes came form a sizeable cross section of such communities themselves, he said.
