Justice R C Chavan Resigns from Maharashtra UCC Panel Amid Process Concerns
Retired Bombay High Court judge Justice R C Chavan resigned from Maharashtra's Uniform Civil Code (UCC) committee, citing concerns over the committee's limited public feedback process and the presence of a non-member adviser at meetings. Following his resignation, Mumbai MLAs called for minority representation on the panel to enhance its credibility. The government subsequently appointed retired IAS officer Shatrughna Singh as a member-cum-adviser. Justice Chavan emphasized the need for public autonomy in personal matters and expressed hopes for consensus-building on UCC implementation.
