Union Cabinet approves formation of 22nd Law Commission

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday gave its approval to set up the 22nd Law Commission.

The Law Commission advises the government on complex legal issues. The term of the previous law panel ended last August.

The Law Ministry will now notify the new panel, which will have a three-year term.

Apart from having a full-time chairperson, the commission will have four full-time members, including a member-secretary.

Law and Legislative Secretaries in the Law Ministry will be the ex-officio members of the commission.
