The Congress on Tuesday said the 22nd Law Commission ended without submitting its report on the Uniform Civil Code while the actual composition of the successor panel is yet to be announced, and asked why the Modi government was being "negligent" with such a respected body. The opposition party's statement came a day after Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the rules under the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) have been approved and the date of its implementation in the state would be announced soon.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh aimed.
Congress General Secretary and Communications In-charge Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X, "The 21st Law Commission appointed by the Modi government had submitted its 182-page consultation paper on 'Reform of Family Law' on August 31, 2018. Para 1.15 in this report is as follows: 'While the diversity of Indian culture can and should be celebrated, specific groups or weaker sections of society should not be disadvantaged in the process. The resolution of this conflict does not mean the elimination of all differences.
He further said, 'This Commission has therefore dealt with discriminatory laws instead of providing a Uniform Civil Code which is neither necessary nor desirable at this stage. Most countries are now moving towards the recognition of difference and the mere existence of difference is not a sign of discrimination but it is a sign of a strong democracy.' Ramesh further said that then in a press note published on June 14, 2023, the 22nd Law Commission of India once again notified its intention to examine the Uniform Civil Code. He informed me that the press note clarified that this is being done on a reference sent by the Ministry of Law and Justice. However, the 22nd Law Commission was eventually terminated on August 31, 2024, without submitting its report on the Uniform Civil Code.
The 23rd Law Commission was announced in September 2024
The 23rd Law Commission was announced on September 3, 2024, but its actual composition has not been announced yet. He said, "Why is the Modi government behaving so casually with a respected body like the Law Commission, especially on such a sensitive subject?" After chairing a state cabinet meeting on Monday, Dhami said that preparations for implementing the Uniform Civil Code in the state are almost complete. In December, Dhami announced that the Uniform Civil Code would be implemented in January. With municipal elections scheduled to be held on January 23 and results expected on January 25, there is speculation that the government may announce the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code on Republic Day.
