Maharashtra establishes a seven-member committee to prepare a draft framework for implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announces that the panel is headed by Justice Ranjana Desai, a former Supreme Court judge. The committee includes additional members drawn from multiple backgrounds, including ex-judges, constitutional experts, and representatives from the social sector, according to reports.
Fadnavis says the committee is expected to submit its report within six months. The reported purpose of the panel is to work on the draft rules or implementation framework for the UCC in Maharashtra, as part of the state-level process to study and design how such provisions could be applied.
Across the two outlets, both the composition of the committee and the six-month timeline for submitting the report are consistently described. The announcements frame the panel as a preparatory step toward drafting and shaping the UCC implementation approach in Maharashtra.
