In a recent development, the government of Odisha has taken a step towards improving the legal system in the state. On Friday, they announced the formation of a law commission, headed by retired judge Justice Biswanath Rath. This commission has been tasked with the responsibility of reviewing the existing laws and making recommendations for their improvement and modification.
According to official sources, the commission will consist of Justice Biswanath Rath as the chairperson, along with senior advocates Surya Prakash Mishra and Soura Chandra Mohapatra as members. This decision was made official through a notification issued by the Law Department. Furthermore, Advocate General Pitambar Acharya and Law Department principal secretary Manas Ranjan Barik have been appointed as ex-officio members of the commission.
The main objective of this commission is to identify outdated laws and rules that are no longer relevant in the current times. They will then propose ways to bring about necessary reforms in these laws. This is a crucial step in ensuring that the legal system in Odisha is up to date and in line with the changing needs of society.
This move by the Odisha government is a commendable effort towards improving the overall legal framework of the state. With the expertise of Justice Biswanath Rath and the other members of the commission, we can expect significant progress in the coming days. This will not only benefit the citizens of Odisha but also set a precedent for other states to follow in terms of legal reforms.
