In Poulomi Pavini Shukla v. Union of India, the Supreme Court of India considered a challenge to Muslim personal law inheritance rules alleged to discriminate against women. The Bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, along with Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice R. Mahadevan, questioned whether courts can invalidate personal laws without creating a legal vacuum. Referring to Article 44, the Court observed that a Uniform Civil Code may offer a comprehensive legislative solution. The matter remains pending, with the petitioner directed to clarify the legal framework sought if existing Shariat inheritance provisions are struck down.
