Supreme court issue notice to the central government to appoint member and chairperson in the Law Commission of India Admin Mon, Jan 25, 2021, at ,02:40 PM The Supreme Court issued notices on a PIL seeking for a direction to the Central Government to appoint the Chairperson and Members of the Law Commission of India within one month and to make it a statutory body. A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian issued notice to the Centre on the plea of BJP leader and lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay, who made the ministries of Home Affairs and Law and Justice as well as the Law Commission of India as parties. The plea said the cause of action arose on August 31, 2018, and is continuing when the tenure of the 21st Law Commission ended but the Centre has neither extended the tenure of its Chairperson and Members nor notified the 22nd Law Commission. The plea said since the Law Commission is not working, the Centre does not have the benefit of recommendations from this specialized body on the different aspects of law, which are entrusted to the Commission for its study and recommendations. The Commission, on a reference made to it by the Centre, the apex court, and high courts, undertakes research in law and reviews existing laws for making reforms therein and enacting new legislation,
