Uttarakhand panel frames UCC rules, to allow digital registration of marriages and live-in relationships Web Portal and mobile app ready, report to be sent to CM for implementation
Rules Making & Implementation Committee, which along with its sub-committees has held over 130 to 140 meetings since it was set up in February, has framed a aprox 450-page report, members of the panel said, and will submit it to the state government soon.
Shatrughan Singh, a retired IAS officer and the head of the committee, said they have recommended that the authority concerned for marriage registration be a sub-registrar or village panchayat development officer responsible for birth and death registration in villages.
Sources said the report being prepared by the committee will contain implementation rules regarding the UCC as well as a detailed account of the rule-making process that has involved both legal experts and law interns. With the BJP intending to use the Uttarakhand UCC as a role model for other states, the rules template has been framed keeping this in mind.
