File photo: Hindustan TimesNew Delhi: The Congress may oppose a proposed legislation criminalising instant triple talaq if it is in violation of a Supreme Court judgement on the matter, party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said on Friday. He said the party would support the bill if it was within the Supreme Court’s verdict. “If, however, the Act or the Bill seeks to violate and transgress the limits of that Supreme Court judgement, we may well have to do a rethink and let us see that,” he said. The bill is being introduced as the practice still continued despite the Supreme Court striking down ‘talaq-e- biddat’ (instant triple talaq).
