Article 35 A : SC defers hearing by three months

| @indiablooms | 30 Oct 2017, 06:49 pm

New Delhi, Oct 30 (IBNS) : The Supreme court on Monday  adjourned hearing on a plea seeking to quash Article 35 A for three months, reports said.

The plea was filed by Charu Wali Khanna, a Supreme Court lawyer  seeking  scrapping of the article allegedly for its " discriminatory"  nature  for women who are stripped off the right to own property if they marry someone from outside the state.

The petitioner stated that  the Article 14 of Constitution gives a fundamental right to equality before law. But 35 A is heavily loaded in favour of males because even after marriage to women from outside they will not lose the right of being permanent residents.

The petitioner also contended that while  a woman from outside the state becomes  a permanent resident on marrying a male permanent resident of the state,  a daughter who is a  born state subject loses  the right on marrying an outsider.
