Law Commission seeks fresh inputs on Uniform Civil Code

ISHITA MISHRA NEW DELHI

The 22nd Law Commission of India on Wednesday sought fresh suggestions from various stakeholders, including public and religious organisations, on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).

The previous 21st Law Commission had also examined the subject and solicited the views of stakeholders through its appeal. The previous commission has also issued a consultation paper on “Reforms of family law” in August 2018.

Pursuant to the same, overwhelming responses have been received by the commission, it said in a communiqué.

“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, the 22nd Law Commission considered it expedient to deliberate afresh over the subject,” the panel said.
