Supreme Court:<\/span> During the course of the hearing in a pending civil appeal, the Court’s attention was drawn to the provisions of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937<\/a>, particularly Section 4 and the absence of compliance with the said provision.

The Court directed the newly added respondents to file an affidavit indicating the latest status in the meantime. The Court requested the parties to file a convenience compilation within one week. The matter to be listed on 18-02-2026.<\/p>\n
