Uniform Civil Code key to national integration; need consensus for implementation: Ex-CJI Gogoi
Ranjan Gogoi on Sunday called the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) a «very important» step towards national integration and social justice, stressing the need to build consensus before its implementation. Speaking at the 'Surat Litfest 2025' here, the Rajya Sabha MP supported the 'One Nation, One Election' idea and said frequent polls affect governance, strain the administration and finance, and cause election fatigue.

«I see Uniform Civil Code as a very progressive piece of legislation which will replace diverse customary practices that have evolved into laws,» the ex-CJI said.
There is no debate that it is a constitutional goal and is in Article 44, said Gogoi.
If implemented, UCC would establish a single set of personal laws for all citizens, regardless of their faith. It would apply to matters like marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, and maintenance.
A uniform civil code in India has been a key agenda of successive election manifestos of the ruling BJP.
