Chhattisgarh Forms Committee Led by Justice Desai to Draft Uniform Civil Code
The BJP-led Chhattisgarh government has formed a five-member high-level committee, chaired by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, to draft a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for the state. The panel includes retired IAS officers Shatrughan Singh and M.K. Raut, senior advocate Mohan Pawar, and Jyoti Rani Singh. It will study existing laws on marriage, divorce, inheritance, and related issues, seek inputs from various stakeholders, and review UCC models from other states before submitting recommendations. The move aims to simplify laws and promote equality, though opposition voices have expressed concerns about potential impacts on tribal rights.
