Rise of Muqtada al-Sadr
A just and equal code
Muslim Indians should accept a uniform civil code that promotes gender justice and
social equality
In 1955-56, Parliament passed a series of acts to reform legal practices governing
Hindus – These collectively constitute Hindu Personal Law.
1950s as it did Hindu law but for J Nehru’s belief that the Muslim minority,
should not be made subject to the decisions of a Hindu majority legislature.
Nehru wanted the demand for reform to come from Muslims.
Even the reform of Hindu law was almost derailed
The refusal of Muslims to adopt changes in their personal law was in large
part the result of post Partition insecurity.
Prophet Muhammad was a social revolutionary- The implementation of
Islamic precepts must be sensitive to changing times.

One deciphers two principal socio moral lessons in Islamic teachings:
Gender justice
Social equality
Prophet declared that women could inherit property
The Koran clearly states that all human beings are equal.
Consequently, Muslim Indians should accept a UCC that promotes gender justice
and social equality and does not discriminate on the basis of religion or caste.
Steering reform in clogged(भरा हुआ) courts.
Management practices and technology can h•lp transform court processes
Two areas of concern- While there is general acceptance
that the Indian judicial system suffers from Case delay and
Use of antiquated(प्राचीि) methods,
Discourse on judicial reform remains focussed on areas such as
Appointments and Vacancies.
It is time that organisational barriers and court processes that also contribute
to case delay are studied.
We focus on two areas that greatly affect court efficiency:
Case listing practices and
Court infrastructure.

When a judge is pressed for time, not only does the quality of adjudication suffer but it
also means that several cases will inevitably go unheard.
Infrastructure: from inadequate support staff for judges to the dearth of basic
courtroom facilities.
Judges are unable to perform their functions in a timely manner.
In a private interview, a judge said that even though he managed to hear close to 70 cases
in a day, it took two days for the stenographers to finish typing the orders.
Existing infrastructure could accommodate only 15,540 judicial officers against the
all-India sanctioned strength of 20,558.
The lack of infrastructure also raises serious concerns about access to justice
Even basic needs such as drinking water, usable washrooms, seating and canteen
facilities are often not available in court complexes.
Looking at modernisation- Created dedicated posts for court managers (MBA
graduates) to help improve court operations.
Recording and analysing appropriate court-related data is thus the first step role of
technology is critical.
