Mohd. Ahmad Khanv/Sshah Bano Begum - (Air 1985 Scr (3) 844) - Triple Talaq Landmark Case
Bench Of Judges: Y.V Chandrachud, D.A Desai, O.Chinnappa Reddy, E.S Venkataramiah, Rangnath Misra.
Issues Raised In This Case:-
# Whether Section 125 of the Code Of Criminal Procedure is concerned with Muslims or not.
# Whether the amount of Mehr given by the husband on divorce is adequate to get the husband rid and is liable to maintain his wife or not.
# whether Uniform Civil Code applies to all religions or not.
Conclusion:-
This was the case of a Triple Talaq verdict which according to me was a historic verdict as it maintains the truth and faith of the people in the judiciary as in this case, "Justice and equality has overcome religion". According to me this lawsuit was milestone in judiciary as it was courageous, bold, impartial and unique decision. This judgement has marked the importance of maintenance which should be provided to the divorced Muslim women who are not in the condition to earn and maintain themselves.
Even though the verdict of Shah Bano case given by the Supreme Court was invalidate by the endorsement of Muslim Women Ac[6]t, the court held in further verdict's that divorced Muslim. women, under Section 125 of CrPc can affirm maintenance or alimony from their former husband, or apart from this divorced Muslim women can assert or claim for round some money or amount under Muslim Women Act. The Supreme Court even though after dirty politics passed the judgement that was impartial and at last it had maintained the trust and faith of citizens in judiciary.
