New Delhi: Around 80 lakh responses have been received so far and the Law Commission will deliberate on the suggestions received and hold consultations with stakeholders concerned, a member of the Law Commission informed.
The Law Commission had earlier sought responses of interested individuals, institutions or organisations to furnish their comments on the issue of the Uniform Civil Code till July 28, 2023.
The Commission has now decided not to further extend the time period for submission of suggestions from the public on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
Earlier, on July 14, the Law Commission had extended the time period saying, "In view of the overwhelming response from the public on the subject of Uniform Civil Code and numerous requests received from various quarters regarding the extension of time for submitting their comments, the Law Commission has decided to grant an extension of two weeks for the submission of views and suggestions by the concerned stakeholders".
It was further stated that the Commission values the input of all stakeholders and aims to create an inclusive environment that encourages active engagement. We encourage all interested parties to utilize this extended timeframe to contribute their valuable ideas and expertise. (with ANI inputs)
