Maharashtra Forms Seven-Member Committee to Draft Uniform Civil Code
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the formation of a seven-member expert committee, led by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ranjana Desai, to draft a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for the state. The panel, comprising former judges, bureaucrats, and social experts, has six to seven months to submit its recommendations. The government aims to introduce the UCC legislation during the winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur. The move aligns with the Directive Principles of State Policy and follows similar initiatives in other BJP-ruled states.
