Justice R.C. Chavan Resigns from Maharashtra Uniform Civil Code Committee Over Process Concerns
Retired Bombay High Court judge Justice R.C. Chavan resigned from Maharashtra's seven-member Uniform Civil Code (UCC) committee on September 19, citing disagreements over the committee's working style and public feedback process. He raised concerns about meetings concluding without substantive discussion, the chairperson finalizing a questionnaire without broader input, and the involvement of an officer from outside Maharashtra. The committee, headed by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ranjana Desai, was formed in July to draft recommendations for implementing UCC in the state, with the government aiming to introduce the bill during the winter legislative session.
