It was stated that they were running their own courts and passing orders and decrees in their personal matters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioner claimed himself to be a victim of such type of orders passed by respondent 7. Further, the petitioner filed one of the orders passed by respondent 7 on an application filed by his wife for divorce which was called \u201cKhula\u201d by making all sorts of allegations against him. She sought Talaq under the Kanoon-A-Shariat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the petitioner, respondent 7 had proceeded with the matter and ordered the Talaq (divorce) by way of Khula which was not permissible under the Indian judicial system. The petitioner had alleged that respondent 7 under the shelter of respondents 4, 5 &amp; 6 was entertaining such types of disputes and passing the orders in the matter which were liable to be brought before the Court for adjudication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since no action was taken, the petitioner approached this Court by way of the Public Interest Litigation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Respondent 6, All India Muslim Personal Law Board had submitted that the personal law relating to marriage and dissolution of marriage has to be governed by the personal law of Muslims as recognized by them in terms of their religious denominational texts. It is further submitted that clear instructions are given to Kazis who are appointed by the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board not to entertain the disputes wherein the parties thereof have already approached the Court of Law or do not consent for an amicable resolution of the dispute.
