All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has hoped that a just verdict will come on the Babri Masjid case by the Supreme Court which will be based on right, fair play and justice…. “It is a test case for basic values of secularism enshrined in our Constitution”.
At a meeting here the AIMPLB also asked the government to stay away from the Uniform Civil Code, UCC.
The Board will also move to the Supreme Court against Triple Talaq law.
The AIMPLB held a meeting of its working committee here on Saturday and passed a set of resolutions, including one on the Babri issue matter, which said that the “law of Shariat does not permit the transfer of land dedicated for the Masjid”.
The meeting was chaired by Maulana Mohammad Rabey Hasan Nadwi at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama.
The resolution stated, “It was resolved to reiterate the basic stand of the Muslim community that the land which is dedicated for the Masjid, its status cannot be altered, changed or transferred in any manner. The law of Shariat does not permit it. Therefore, no Muslim can surrender or transfer such wakf land.”
It also stated, “The AIMPLB expresses optimism that the honourable Supreme Court will pronounce a judgment in favour of the Muslim cause, which will be based on right, fairplay and justice…. It is a test case for basic values of secularism enshrined in our Constitution.”
On the triple talaq Bill, the resolution stated, “As regards the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019, the Board has decided to challenge its constitutionality inter alia on the ground that it suffers from manifest arbitraries. The Act of 2019, far from protecting the rights of Muslim women and children in marriage will render Muslim women destitute.”
On Uniform Civil Code, the resolution stated, “India is inhabited by multi-cultural and multi-religious people and each group has its constitutional rights to maintain its identity. The very concept of Uniform Civil Code is a threat to this diversity…”
