Dhawan said that this issue was far more important than a challenge to the Muslim law allowing polygamy that had been recently referred to a Constitution bench. CJI Misra said that the case would be referred to a constitution bench only after all parties to the case had been heard. The top court is hearing a total of 13 appeals filed against the 2010 judgment of the Allahabad high court in four civil suits.
