Uttarakhand Court Orders Protection for Interfaith Couple

The Uttarakhand High Court has ordered police protection for an interfaith live-in couple if they register their relationship under the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) within 48 hours. This order has generated confusion as the UCC has not yet been implemented in the state, leading to a miscommunication from the junior government advocate. The government has filed a recall application to remove the UCC requirement from the order. Despite the error, the couple will still receive protection while the order is revised. The case highlights the complexities and misunderstandings surrounding the UCC's pending enforcement in Uttarakhand.
