'Customary courts' like Khap panchayats unconstitutional: Government

Law Minister DV Sadananda Gowda told Lok Sabha that all 'customary courts', Khap panchayats and kangaroo courts are "against the law and against the Constitution".

"It is a very serious issue. State governments have to take action and check such customary courts," he said during Question Hour. Gowda was replying a supplementary Rabindra Kumar Jena (BJD) who raised the issue of such a court in West Bengal.

The Minister said he would soon write to all states for setting up of 'Naari Aadalat' (women courts) for expeditious disposals of cases related to women.
