Muslim Personal Law Board condoles victims of Ahmedabad Plane Crash, demands strict probe
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has expressed sorrow over the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed the lives of nearly all 242 passengers and crew members on board. The flight, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was en route to London when it crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12.
In an official statement issued on Friday, the Board's President, Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, conveyed condolences to the families of the victims. "We share in your sorrow and pray that the Almighty grants you patience and strength in this time of immense grief," he said.
Calling the incident unfortunate, Maulana Rahmani urged the Gujarat government and Air India authorities to ensure complete care and support for those injured in the crash. He also stressed the need for stringent aircraft maintenance practices to avoid such tragedies.
“This tragedy, which occurred moments after takeoff, raises serious questions about the upkeep of aircraft. Planes must not be operated beyond their prescribed service period. Even minor negligence in maintenance can lead to catastrophic outcomes,” he said.
The Board has demanded a thorough and transparent investigation into the crash to ascertain the exact cause. “If any negligence is found on the part of Air India, the Airport Authority of India, or the maintenance team, strict action must be taken. Accountability is necessary to prevent similar disasters in the future,” the statement added.

Allahabad HC sets aside maintenance order in favour of earning wife, says she didn't tell truth
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has set aside a lower court order mandating a man to pay maintenance to his estranged wife, observing that she earns her living and did not reveal the true salary in her affidavit.
Justice Madan Pal Singh also allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the man, Ankit Saha.
"A perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that in the affidavit filed before the trial court, the opposite party herself admitted that she is a post-graduate and a web designer by qualification. She is working as a senior sales coordinator in a company and getting a salary of Rs 34,000 per month," the court said in the December 3 order.
"But in her cross-examination, she has admitted that she was earning Rs 36,000 per month. Such an amount for a wife who has no other liability cannot be said to be meagre; whereas the man has the responsibility of maintaining his aged parents and other social obligations," it observed.
The high court observed that the woman was not entitled to get any maintenance from her husband "as she is an earning lady and able to maintain herself".
The man's counsel argued in court that the estranged wife did not reveal the whole truth in the affidavit.
"She claimed herself to be an illiterate and unemployed woman. When the document filed by the man was shown to her before the trial court, she admitted her income during cross-examination. Thus, it is clear that she did not come before the trial court with clean hands," the counsel submitted.
The court, in its order, said, "Cases of those litigants who have no regard for the truth and those who indulge in suppressing material facts need to be thrown out of the court."
It impugned the lower court's February 17 judgment and order, passed by the principal judge of a family court in Gautam Buddh Nagar and allowed the criminal revision petition filed by the man.
