The Story in Brief
The Tamil Nadu government has reconstituted the State Law Commission. Justice D. Krishnakumar, former Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court, has been appointed Chairman. The Hindu reports that the Government Order was issued by the Law Department.
Full-time members include Justice R.M.T. Teekaa Raman, former judge of the Madras High Court; T.K. Ramachandran, former Additional Chief Secretary; and A. Arunagiri, former Secretary of the Law Department. Part-time members are P. Mohan Doss and R. Govindarajan, both former District Judges. A Law Department secretary-rank officer will be the full-time Member Secretary. The term of office for all members is three years from the date the Chairman assumes charge.
The Indian Opinion
Appointments to the Law Commission rarely make news, but the composition here deserves attention. Two former judges, two senior bureaucrats, and two former district judges, a mix that could either produce sober reports or get bogged down in procedure. The real test is whether the commission will tackle overdue reforms like prison overcrowding and case delays, or become another advisory body that gathers dust. Watch for its first major recommendation.
