This document is a letter from an Indian citizen to the Law Commission of India regarding the Commission's request for suggestions on developing a Uniform Civil Code. The citizen expresses interest in providing input but notes that the short deadline of April 6th does not allow sufficient time for thorough examination and study of the complex issues involved. Additionally, the Commission has not clearly framed the specific issues for which input is sought. Therefore, the citizen requests that the deadline be extended by at least 60 days to allow for more meaningful contributions and also requests a personal hearing to address the Commission.

Subject:- Hearing in the matter of Uniform Civil Code
Ref : Your Letter dated 19th
March, 2018.
Respected Sir,
The undersigned is the citizen of India and a permanent resident at
the address given below. The undersigned came across the Letter dated
19.3.2019 (noticed by the undersigned on 29.3.2018 which was uploaded
on the website of the Law Commission of India. After going through the
said it is learnt that the Law Commissioner has invited the suggestions/
discussion/ consultation/ working papers on the issues pertaining to the
Uniform Civil Code. It is mentioned in the said letter that the suggestions/
discussion/ consultation/ working papers should be submitted on or before
6th
April, 2018.
I, the undersigned being citizen of India is very much interested to
address the Commission on the issues relating to the Uniform Civil Code
as the same is very important and have a bearing on my personal life and
liberties so also freedom of speech and expression as guaranteed by the
Constitution of India.
I am shocked and surprised to notice that a very short and/or
virtually no time is given to make suggestions/ discussion/ consultation/
working papers. The matter being of great importance cannot be
proceeded with in haste. A detailed discussion and individual’s opinion is
necessary before making any recommendation. Considering the paucity of
time it is not possible for the undersigned to give the suggestions/
discussion/ consultation/ working papers, on the issues within such a short
span. For preparing the suggestions/ discussion/ consultation/ working
papers the undersigned need time to examine various issues and to make
detailed study before making any submissions.
Another shocking fact which has been noticed that although the
suggestions/ discussion/ consultation/ working papers are invited on the

2. issues, however, no issues are framed on which the suggestions/
discussion/ consultation/ working papers is sought by the Commission.
Being citizen of India I am eager to give my detailed suggestions/
discussion/ consultation/ working papers on any of the issues concerning
the Uniform Civil Code. As mentioned in your above referred letter I am
willing to personally address the Commission on all the issues.
As my fundamental Rights are directly involved and would be
affected, I request this Hon’ble Commission to grant a reasonable time for
giving my detailed suggestions/ discussion/ consultation/ working papers
on the issues. The time period for giving detailed suggestions/ discussion/
consultation/ working papers be therefore extended by atleast 60 days for
enabling us to undertake a detailed study and make submissions.
As I am also interested to make oral submissions in the matter, I
would also request you to grant me personal hearing in the matter.
Thanking you in anticipation
