Ahmedabad (Gujarat) – The Gujarat government has formed a 5-member committee, chaired by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Desai, to evaluate and implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. The committee has been tasked with submitting its report within 45 days, based on which the state government will decide the next steps, stated Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
This initiative follows the precedent set by Uttarakhand, which became the first state in independent India to implement a Uniform Civil Code. The development underscores Gujarat’s move toward fostering equality and uniformity in personal laws across communities.
