Law panel chief says Phase 3 UCC dialogue soon, supports simultaneous polls idea: Report

Hindustan Times  

Law Commission has consulted a diverse range of experts and stakeholders, including religious scholars and representatives from various religious and women's organizations, for a comprehensive understanding of the issues surrounding the Uniform Civil Code, panel chairperson Ritu Raj Awasthi has said. In an interview with CNN-News18, justice Awasthi said the panel has been engaging in a multi-phase consultation process and the upcoming Phase 3 of the consultations will involve Law Commission representatives travelling to different districts. He argued that holding simultaneous polls would make people “choose their leaders more wisely as the elections would only be held after a substantial period of time and hence people would not only come out in large numbers to vote but would also be voting in a much wiser manner.” The Election Commission of India too has said it supports the idea, emphasising logistical, financial and legal feasibility based on its analysis and historical precedent. The panel includes Union home minister Amit Shah, law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, former leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Finance Commission chairman NK Singh, former Lok Sabha secretary general Subhash C Kashyap, former chief vigilance commissioner Sanjay Kothari and noted lawyer Harish Salve.
