Orders in this case
SUMMARY OF W.P.(C) NO. 869/2020 – ASHWINI KUMAR UPADHYAY v. UNION OF INDIA On 29 March 2023, the Supreme Court dismissed a batch of writ petitions (including W.P. 869/2020) seeking enactment of gender-neutral and religion-neutral legislation governing divorce, adoption, guardianship, succession, and maintenance. The Court held that mandamus cannot be issued to the legislature to enact laws, as legislation falls exclusively within the legislative domain. Several related petitions were detagged and listed for 28 April 2023. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
