Md Nadimul Haque makes a Zero Hour mention on the Government’s delay in appointing the Chairperson & members of the Law Commission
I would like to draw the attention of the Government towards the delay in the appointment of the Chairperson and other members of the Law Commission. The Ministry of Law and Justice, vide this notification dated September 14, 2016, had notified the constitution of the 21st law Commission of India for a period of three years, from September 1, 2015 to August 2018.
Sir, however, although six months have passed, the Government has not appointed the Chairman and other members of the law Commission till date. Sir, the active and regular functioning of the Law Commission is of utmost importance, specially focussing on the role of providing suggestions and recommendations regarding legal reforms required in the country. Therefore, Sir, the aforesaid delay will have an adverse impact on the working of the Commission as they will have six months less to complete the assigned tasks.
Sir, I want to ask this Government why is there a delay in the appointment of the members of the Law Commission, specially when they equate high importance of good governance in the country. Hence, I would request the Government to appoint all the members of the Law Commission expeditiously so that the promise of good governance through legal and judicial reforms can become operative in nature. Thank you, Sir.
