Arun Jaitley about Judicial Opinion Meeting

New Delhi, April 15: The Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was addressed that, "There will be meeting expecting on Judicial opinion in future", on Friday.

Speaking at FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) event after releasing Gender Parity Index specific in the formal sector, Jaitley said 2017 will be "extremely different" on the issue of personal laws.

In an indirect reference to Muslim personal law, he said "a very surprising judicial opinion" existed decades back that while all laws must confine to the constitutional rights itself, personal laws need not.

"...hopefully, it gets reviewed in near future some time," the minister added.

His comments came days after the central government told the Supreme Court in an affidavit that the practices of 'triple talaq', 'nikah halala' and polygamy impact the social status and dignity of Muslim women and deny them fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
