Law Commission Seeks Views From Public, Religious Bodies On Uniform Civil Code

The Law Commission on Wednesday said it has decided to look at the need for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) afresh and seek the views of various stakeholders, including members of the public and religious organizations.

Earlier, the 21st Law Commission, the term of which ended in August 2018, had examined the issue and solicited the views of all stakeholders on two occasions on the politically sensitive matter of a UCC. Subsequently, a consultation paper on “Reforms of Family Law” was issued in 2018.

22nd Law Commission of India considered it expedient to deliberate afresh over the subject

“Since more than three years have lapsed from the date of issuance of the said consultation paper, bearing in mind the relevance and importance of the subject and also the various court orders on the subject, the 22nd Law Commission of India considered it expedient to deliberate afresh over the subject,” the panel said in a statement.

Law Commission starts examining the issues related to Uniform Civil Code

The 22nd Law Commission, which recently got a three-year extension, has accordingly begun examining issues related to a UCC on a reference sent by the Ministry of Law and Justice.

“Accordingly, the 22nd Law Commission of India decided again to solicit views and ideas of the public at large and recognized religious organizations about the Uniform Civil Code,” the statement said. Those who are interested and willing can present their views within a period of 30 days from the date of notice to the Law Commission.

It is really important to take the views of different sections of the society while implementing any kind of law. Since the law will be affecting each and every part of the society. Such measures can bring the right kind of democratic characteristics to India
