RAipur: The Chhattisgarh storage locker on midweek decided to be a upper-level citizens committee, headed by a retired judge, to prepare a draft of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for its implementation in the state with the aim of "simplifying laws to promote religious and gender equality".The decision was taken during a meeting of the cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan, an official statement said.The panel will be headed by retired judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, while the chief minister has been authorised to nominate the members of the committee, it said.At present, matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, maintenance and family disputes in Chhattisgarh are governed by different personal laws based on religion. The Article 44 of the Constitution directs the state to work towards implementing a Uniform Civil Code for all citizens, it said.The existence of multiple personal laws creates inequality in legal processes and makes the justice system more complex. The proposed UCC is aimed at simplifying laws to promote religious and gender equality, it said.The committee will seek suggestions from citizens, organisations and experts, and may also invite feedback through a web portal. Based on its recommendations, a draft will be prepared and placed before the cabinet for approval, after which it will be introduced in the state assembly to establish a uniform and transparent civil legal framework, it added.The BJP government in Uttarakhand has formally implemented the UCC in January 2025, becoming the first state in the country to do so. The Gujarat assembly last month passed the UCC Bill, 2026.
