New Delhi: The government is planning to make Law Commission of India, which advises government on complex legal issues, into a permanent body. Sources said this would help ensure continuity in its functioning. Currently, the Union Cabinet re-constitutes the Commission every three years and a new chairman and members are appointed to run it.
Deposing before the Parliamentary standing committee on law and personnel, the law secretary P.K. Malhotra said, “Since the Law Commission is continuously functioning since 1959 and is reconstituted every three years, it is suggested that it be made a permanent body either by an Executive Order or by an Act of Parliament.” In 2010, such an initiative was taken.
