The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that the time has come for having a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country. The top court made these observations while terming a plea seeking the striking down of provisions of the Shariat law of 1937 for being discriminatory to Muslim women as a "very good case" which advisably only the legislature should look into, news agency PTI reported. CJI Kant said, "The answer is Uniform Civil Code." Justice Bagchi further said, "This court has time and again recommended to the legislature to enact a Uniform Civil Code." The answer is Uniform Civil Code.
