New Delhi, November 7

The Centre on Monday appointed chairperson and members of the Law Commission over two years after it was constituted. Law Minister Kiren Rijiju took to Twitter to announce the appointment of retired HC Chief Justice Rituraj Awasthi as the chairperson of the commission.

The Law Commission is constituted for three years and the 22nd Law Commission was notified on February 24, 2020. Though the official notification announcing the appointments was not immediately available, going by the date of its constitution, its term will end in February next year.

The government has said the issue related to the Uniform Civil Code might be taken up by the 22nd law panel. Justice KT Sankaran, Professor Anand Paliwal, Professor DP Verma, Professor Raka Arya and M Karunanithi have been appointed as members of the commission.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
