No clarity yet on next law panel chief
The Morning Standard

22nd Law Commission, formed under Justice Awasthi, is tasked with drafting nationwide UCC
MONTHS after Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi resigned as the chairperson of the 22nd Law Commission of India, the Centre is yet to appoint a new head for the panel tasked with drafting a nationwide Uniform Civil Code (UCC), a long-time poll promise of the BJP.
Though the commission's tenure will expire on August 31 this year, there is no clarity yet on the appointment of the new chairman.
Curiously, the Justice Awasthi-led commission has been working on formulating a comprehensive draft bill on UCC since it was constituted two years ago. Implementation of a central UCC was one of the main poll planks of the BJP during its campaigns in the recent Lok Sabha elections.
As the BJP-ruled Uttarakhand is all set to implement UCC in October, other states ruled by the saffron party, including Assam and Gujarat, are also pushing for the implementation of the uniform code in their respective states.
