Spartan Posted September 13, 2019 Report Posted September 13, 2019 Putting the sensitive uniform civil code issue back on the political centre stage, the Supreme Court on Friday frowned on the failure of governments to heed Article 44 of the Constitution to promulgate a UCC for the entire country despite it being 63 years since the codification of Hindu law in 1956. The lament about the failure to “secure for the citizens a UCC throughout the territories of India” as envisaged under Article 44 of the Constitution came as part of an important judgment delivered by a bench of Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose which held that the Portuguese Civil Code of 1867 would govern succession and inheritance of properties of Goans even if situated outside the state. Writing the judgment for the bench, Justice Gupta said, “Goa is a shining example of an Indian state which has a uniform civil code applicable to all regardless of religion ... Muslim men whose marriages are registered in Goa cannot practise polygamy. Further, even for followers of Islam, there is no provision for verbal divorce (triple talaq).” Accepting senior advocate Devadatt Kamat’s arguments for petitioner Jose Paulo Coutinho, the bench ruled, “It will be the Portuguese Civil Code, 1867, as applicable to the state of Goa, which shall govern the rights of succession and inheritance even in respect of properties of a Goan domicile situated outside Goa, anywhere in India.” The SC ordered that properties of one Joaquim Mariano Pereira outside Goa be made part of the inventory being prepared for the purpose of succession and inheritance among his legal heirs. In addition to deciding the main issue argued by Kamat, the bench delved into UCC and said, “It is interesting to note that whereas the founder of the Constitution in Article 44 in Part IV dealing with the Directive Principles of State Policy had hoped and expected that the state shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territories of India, till date no action has been taken in this regard.” “Though Hindu laws were codified in the year 1956, there has been no attempt to frame a uniform civil code applicable to all citizens of the country despite exhortations of the Supreme Court in the cases of Shah Bano and Sarla Mudgal.” The observation can provide an impetus to an already strong thinking in BJP that it was time the Modi government moved to frame a UCC. BJP has used apex court verdicts favouring a single civil code to sharpen its pitch for UCC, one of its core themes, and to attribute the political resistance to the “vote-bank politics” of its opponents. The SC’s observation on Friday follows the success of BJP in criminalising triple talaq and extinguishing the special status for J&K, accomplishments which have whetted the Sangh Parivar’s appetite for more ideological triumphs.

The problem is even if they write off the loans for now but the problem will kick start later since our economy is credit based i.e. local entrepreneur/enterprises have to borrow money to setup or expand industry unlike the western counterparts where they have established framework venture capitalists, investment firms and broader access to stocks and mutual funds.it is a classic chicken and egg problem..we need investments either from outside or within and that is what UPA tried with domestic banks funding local mega enterprises and they failed 10 years later. My fear is the cycle is going to repeat again. In the near it will stabilize the banks but put accessof credit to commoners at further risk..the cooperative banking equivalent to credit unions here is already doomed couple of decades ago and non-existent at the moment Quote
prasadr Posted September 14, 2019 Report Posted September 14, 2019 must be done, If BJP with this mandate does not do it, they don't deserve to come back to power. Quote
