Who is Justice RC Chavan? Ex-Bombay HC judge who resigned from Maharashtra UCC panel — Here's why he quit
Justice (retd) RC Chavan's resignation came after Maharashtra’s Uniform Civil Code (UCC) committee held its second meeting on September 19, a report claimed on Tuesday.
Retired Bombay High Court Judge Justice RC Chavan resigned from Maharashtra's Uniform Civil Code (UCC) committee after the group held an online meeting on September 19. The one-page resignation email stated that the panel had finalized a questionnaire for public feedback on the UCC, with the aim of finding consensus on issues such as late marriages, perversions, infertility, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
Justice Chavan claimed that the group had not been focused on gathering the views of the people of Maharashtra, but instead on providing an opportunity for those interested to share their responses in a simple yes or no format. The resignation email also alleged that a non-member attended the meeting, and that the committee chairperson directed the authorities to make changes to the website within a week.
