Topic Description:

The Law Commission of India is a non-statutory, executive body constituted by the government for a fixed tenure of three years.

The panel that has mainly legal and judicial experts acts as an advisory body to the Ministry of Law & Justice.

The Law Commission has a pre-independence origin. However, the first panel in independent India came into being in 1955.

Since then, we've had 21 Law Commissions, each of them making important contributions towards the progressive development and codification of laws in India.

The 22nd Law Commission was approved on 19th February by the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
