Law Commission seeks views from public, religious bodies on Uniform Civil Code
Subsequently, a consultation paper on “Reforms of Family Law” was issued in 2018.
“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.
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 recognised religious organisations 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.
