After Uttarakhand notified its UCC on January 27, 2025, AIMPLB filed a challenge in the Uttarakhand High Court in February. After the Gujarat Assembly passed its UCC Bill in March 2026, the Board announced in April that it would challenge the legislation in the Gujarat High Court. Separately, AIMPLB moved the Supreme Court against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, filing its petition in April 2025. The plea challenges the amendments on constitutional grounds, including Articles 14, 25 and 26 — the Right to Equality, Freedom of Religion (Individual), and Freedom to Manage Religious Affairs (Group).
NEW DELHI: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board ( AIMPLB ) on Thursday postponed its proposed dharna against the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) at Jantar Mantar after Delhi Police denied permission, citing the “likelihood of a large gathering and difficulty in managing the crowd”. The Board has already taken its opposition to the UCC and Waqf law to court. The police decision came amid renewed scrutiny of restrictions on protests at Jantar Mantar. The court was hearing a petition concerning a separate proposed protest by the Kshatriya Karni Sena.
On Thursday, the Delhi High Court questioned the police over its refusal to allow another proposed protest at the venue and asked how a blanket ban on demonstrations could be justified.
