UCC

More than a year after Uttarakhand implemented the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in January 2025, state police remain unable to register cases under its provisions due to a pending software update on the centralised Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS). The issue surfaced in a Haridwar case involving resident Shaheen, where triple talaq and halala allegations led to an FIR under other laws but not UCC sections 30 and 32. A senior officer cited the absence of UCC provisions on CCTNS.
