A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Mini Pushkarna said it cannot direct the legislature to enact a law in this regard.
“We cannot direct legislature to enact a law. Supreme Court has already dealt with the issue and rejected the petitions,” said the Court.
The Court further said that the Law Commission is already seized of the matter and the petitioners are at liberty to approach the Law Commission with their suggestions.
The Law Commission of India had in June sought views and suggestions from the public, recognized religious organizations and other stakeholders on Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
The petitioners BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay and other including Nighat Abbas, Amber Zaid then proceeded to withdraw their pleas.
