Supreme Court sets deadline for States, UTs to frame ‘Anand Karaj’ rules

NEW DELHI, SEPT 18: The Supreme Court has directed all states and union territories to frame and notify rules within four months for registering marriages solemnised under the Sikh ceremony of Anand Karaj, under the Anand Marriage Act, 1909 (as amended in 2012).

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said in a secular framework, the law must provide a neutral and workable route for recording Anand Karaj marriages on the same footing as other marriages. “Where the law recognises Anand Karaj yet leaves no machinery to register it, the promise is only half kept,” the court observed.

The top court noted that while some states and UTs had notified rules under Section 6 of the Act, several had not. It directed those jurisdictions to create a workable registration system for Anand Karaj marriages, stressing that uneven access undermines civil equality.

Until such rules are notified, the bench ordered that existing marriage-registration frameworks must receive and process Anand Karaj marriages without discrimination, recording the ceremony type if requested by the parties.

Specific instructions were issued to Goa and Sikkim as interim measures, ensuring all registration offices accept applications for Anand Karaj marriages without delay. The Centre was asked to coordinate, circulate model rules within two months, and compile a consolidated status report on compliance within six months.

The court emphasised that no application for registration or certified extract of an Anand Karaj marriage shall be refused solely because rules under Section 6 have not yet been notified. (Agencies)

Sr Adv recuse from representing AAP MLA Mehraj Malik detained under PSA
HAWKS EYE EXPRESS
JAMMU, SEPT 18: Senior advocate Nirmal K Kotwal on Thursday recused himself from representing AAP MLA, who was recently detained under Public Safety Act (PSA), citing certain videos where the politician purportedly claimed that Jammu and Kashmir is not a part of India while praising terrorists Burhan Wani and Masood Azhar.

"The unity and sovereignty of India are non-negotiable, and any act or statement undermining them cannot be condoned under any circumstances," Kotwal, who is also president of the Jammu wing of the High Court Bar Association, said in a statement here.

AAP MLA Mehraj Malik (37) was detained on September 8 in Doda for allegedly disturbing public order in the district and was lodged in Kathua district jail.

On September 14, AAP announced a 10-member legal team led by Kotwal to challenge the detention of Malik.

"It has come to my notice that certain videos are in circulation wherein Malik has allegedly stated that Jammu and Kashmir is not a part of India. In the videos he also praised militant Burhan Wani (of Hizbul Mujahideen) and terrorist Masood Azhar (Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad founder)," the senior advocate said.

"At the very outset, I wish to state that these videos and statements were never brought to my knowledge by the legal team of the Aam Aadmi Party while briefing me in connection with the matter wherein PSA has been imposed against Malik," Kotwal said clarifying his stand on the issues which, he said, came to his knowledge through social media platforms.

He said these utterances, if true, are extremely "insensitive, irresponsible, and detrimental" to the cause of national security, sovereignty, and integrity of India.

"As an officer of the court and as a citizen of this great nation, I place the interest of the nation above all else. In light of the same, and in keeping with my conscience, professional ethics, and commitment to national integrity, I hereby recuse myself from representing Malik in the matter concerning the PSA proceedings," he added.
