It was further contended that the judgment in the case of <em>Shayara Bano<\/em> could not have been applied to declare the validity of \u2018triple talaq\u2019 pronounced in the year 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Opining that the argument raised was not tenable, the Bench stated that the judgment rendered in the case of Shayara Bano, if not made to operate prospectively specifically is to be treated as retrospective and applicable even to the pending cases. The Bench explained, \u00a0while declaring the \u2018triple talaq\u2019 as null and void in the eye of law in the case of <em>Shayara<\/em> <em>Bano<\/em>, the Supreme Court did not specifically make the judgment to operate prospectively and that being the position, the law declared by the Supreme Court in <em>Shayara Bano\u2019s<\/em> case would apply equally to the \u2018triple talaq\u2019 pronounced prior to passing of the said judgment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the backdrop of above, the Bench held that no case was made out recall the judgment and dismissed the instant petition.[Showkat Hussain v.
