The Law Commission may be considering work on a Uniform Civil Code, retired Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, who heads the committee preparing a draft UCC for Uttarakhand, said on Friday, soon after meeting with the head of the Law Commission in Delhi.
Earlier this year, the then-Law Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Parliament that the Law Commission would examine the feasibility of the UCC.
On Friday, the members of the Uttarakhand UCC panel — including Justice Desai, who is also the current head of the delimitation commission, and former Uttarakhand Chief Secretary Shatrughna Singh — met Law Commission chair Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and members K.T. Sankaran, Anand Paliwal and D.P. Verma. The two panels discussed Uttarakhand’s UCC draft at length.
