💨 Abstract

The BJP-led Uttarakhand government defended its implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in court, stating it symbolizes progress towards a more egalitarian society and the state's commitment to gender equality. The government's affidavit referred to Article 44 of the Constitution, which permits the state to replace personal laws with statutory ones, and argued that the UCC reflects social and cultural progress.
