What is the story of Haq?

Haq dramatises the events surrounding the landmark Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum case, as depicted in Jigna Vora’s book Bano: Bharat Ki Beti. The legal battle started in 1978 when Shah Bano was divorced by her lawyer husband and reached the Supreme Court in 1985. It ended with a judgment by a five-judge Constitution bench of the apex court that ruled that Muslim women were also entitled to maintenance under the law. The film features Yami Gautam as Shazia Bano and Emraan Hashmi as her husband, lawyer Abbas Khan. Though the film narrates a story from the 1970s and 1980s, the issue it tackles is still quite relevant.
