Gandhinagar: The deadline for members of the public to submit suggestions and opinions before the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) panel has been extended from March 24 to April 15. Panel chairperson Justice Ranjana Desai urged residents to submit their suggestions by the deadline.
The Gujarat govt formed the committee to assess the necessity of implementing UCC in the state. As part of its mandate, the committee is reviewing existing personal laws governing civil matters of Gujarat’s residents. Based on its findings, it will propose a legal framework for the implementation of UCC. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation of all related issues, the committee has invited suggestions from Gujarat’s residents, govt agencies, non-governmental organisations, social groups, religious institutions, and political parties.
