After this, Shah Bano approached the court to get maintenance allowance. When the dispute escalated, Ahmed Khan divorced Shah Bano and refused to pay the maintenance allowance even after paying the dowry amount. After this, the case passed through the Magistrate Court and reached the Supreme Court and then the country's biggest court gave its verdict in favor of Shah Bano and ordered to pay maintenance allowance to Ahmed Khan.
Rajiv Gandhi government reversed the decision
Some Muslims opposed this big decision of the Supreme Court. Under pressure, the then Rajiv Gandhi government overturned the decision of the Supreme Court. The government enacted the Protection of Right on Divorce Act, 1986 in the Parliament, due to which the court's decision could not be implemented.
