The Union Law Ministry has repealed over 70 obsolete laws in 2025, continuing efforts to declutter statute books and reduce the government's status as the 'biggest litigant'. This initiative, part of a broader agenda since 2014, has seen 1,633 archaic laws repealed. However, progress on establishing a mediation council, mandated two years ago, has stalled. Additionally, the appointment of a new Chief Election Commissioner under a new law drew opposition criticism for being 'non-inclusive'.
