Earlier on June 14, 2023, the 22nd Law Commission of India had solicit views and ideas of the public at large and recognized religious organizations about the Uniform Civil Code.
Initially the 21st Law Commission of India had examined the subject on Uniform Civil Code and solicited the views of all the stakeholders through its appeal along with a questionnaire dated October 7, 2016 and further public appeals/notices dated March 19, March 27 and October 4, 2018.
