A five-member panel led by former Supreme Court judge Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai submitted a draft of the Uniform Civil Code to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami on February 1.
After a nod from the state Cabinet, the draft will likely be tabled in the form of a bill before the assembly on February 6.
The details of the draft accessed by Indian Express show that it has excluded tribal populations from the purview of the law, because of their special status. Here's what the bill has suggested.
If implemented, Uttarakhand will become the first state in India after independence to adopt a uniform law governing personal matters, regardless of religion.
