Current Affairs - State - Discussion

In April 2026, the Chhattisgarh Cabinet approved the creation of a high-level committee to draft a Uniform Civil Code, aiming to establish a common legal framework for personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. The committee will be led by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai and will gather inputs from citizens, experts, and stakeholders before preparing the final draft. This move aligns with the Directive Principles of State Policy under Article 44 of the Constitution, which encourages the adoption of a uniform civil code across the country.
