The Supreme Indian Court agreed to examine whether Muslims could follow the secular Indian successor law to deal with the ancestors instead of Shariat without giving up their faith.
The bench, including the chief judge Sanjiv Khann and Judge Sanjay Kumar, took note of the reason for the reason for Naushad KK, the resident of the Keraly Thrissur district, instead of the Shariata, who had Shariiat, a resident in Kerale’s Thrissur District.
The court issued a notice to the Center and the Government of Kerala for his request and asked them to submit their answers. The bench ordered that the action be marked with similar waiting cases in this matter.
At the beginning of April last year, the bench agreed to consider Safiya PM’s action, the inhabitants of Alappuzha and the Secretary -General of the “former Kerala Muslim Muslims” that she was an unbelieving Muslim woman and wanted to deal with her ancestors under succession laws.
Another similar lawsuit filed in 2016 “Koran Sunnat Society” is also waiting for the Supreme Court, which will now hear these three petitions together.
What are the sequence laws in India?
In India, the property of ancestors is defined under the Hindu Act of 1956 – a law that applies to Hindy, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists. Under this law, the predecessor applies to any property that is inherited from four generations of men’s ancestors.
The term ancestors is specific to Hindu law and must not apply to other religions or legal systems. In addition, the definitions and legal consequences of the ancestors’ assets may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific laws governing the inheritance in the region.
What is Shariat?
Sharia Law or Shariat is a system of Islamic religious law that leads Muslims about various aspects of life, including family affairs, business and heritage. It comes from the Qur’an, Sunny (learning and practices of the Prophet Muhammad) and the interpretation of Islamic scholars.
Under Muslim law or Shariiat, the property owned by an individual is its absolute property and no right to legal heirs increases until his death.
Shariat controls the division of the deceased Muslim property among heirs based on religious principles. It priors to related blood and specifies predetermined shares for certain heirs, with the remaining assets being offspring or other relatives.
