Subramanian Swamy challenges Shariat provisions -The New Indian Express
The Kerala High Court on Thursday impleaded BJP leader Subramanian Swamy as a respondent in a petition seeking equal rights for Muslim women in matters of inheritance of parental property.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice A M Shaffique issued the order considering Swamy’s petition seeking to implead himself in the case. He submitted that the petition was filed in 2008. However, it had not come up since then.
Swamy said he challenged certain provisions of Shariat Law being followed in India, especially those provisions related to the inheritance of property.
The Shariat Law violated fundamental rights guaranteed to Muslim women.
The writ petition was filed by Abdul Jaleel, central committee member of the Quran Sunnath Society of Kozhikode and others. The petitioners sought court intervention to prevent misinterpretation of the Quran and its applicability to the Shariat.
The practice now being followed among large sections of the Muslim community is that a daughter should share property with distant relatives of the deceased, in additional to close relatives like parents and spouse. If a Muslim has only daughter, then after his death the daughters will not get an equal share. Instead, the daughters will have to share the property with not-so close relatives of the deceased.
On the other hand, if the deceased leaves behind a son, the son has to share it only with only his spouse and parents of the deceased.
‘LoopHoles in Probe Helped Pinarayi’
Kochi: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Thursday said he was surprised by the verdict of the CBI special court clearing CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan of all the allegations raised against him in the SNC-Lavalin case. “There is prima facie case against Vijayan and collusion between the Congress and the CPM over the case. Loopholes in the investigation of the CBI also helped Pinarayi get a favourable verdict. The Supreme Court’s observation that the CBI is a ‘caged parrot’ is correct,” he said. Speaking to reporters near the High Court, he said the NDA would win 330 seats in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
