New Delhi : Setting at rest concerns of a key Muslim body, the Law Commission of India has said there is no proposal before it for enacting a uniform code for the minority community.
It said there was also no proposal before it for recommending to the Centre any measure which will pave the way for “uniform civil code in the country.”
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) had on Monday said in a statement that any such proposal was “ill- motivated” to pave the way for “enactment of a uniform civil code of the Shariat laws”.
“The Commission was not considering any suggestion for the enactment of a uniform code of Muslim law,” Law Commission member Tahir Mehmood said in a release here last night.
“There is sheer misinformation diametrically opposed to what I have actually suggested in some of my draft reports prepared for the Commissions,” Mehmood said.
