The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday observed that the time has come for a Uniform Civil Code as it termed a plea seeking 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.

A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and R Mahadevan said if the court struck down the Shariat inheritance law, it would create a legal vacuum, as there is no statutory law governing Muslim inheritance.
