The Law Ministry brought out a notification to create the 21st law panel on September 14, but so far the chairman and its members have not been appointed.<\/p>\n<p>As per the notification, besides the chairman, it will have four full-time members, including member secretary, two ex-officio members &#8212; the Law Secretary and Legislative Secretary&#8211; and not more than five part-time members.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the chairman and members, the government will also have to appoint member secretary. Member Secretary G Narayan Raju was recently appointed as the Legislative Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission is reconstituted every three years and is usually headed by a retired Supreme Court judge or former Chief Justice of a high court.<\/p>\n<p>A serving high court or Supreme Court judge can also head it. There is a provision to appoint chairman from &#8216;other categories&#8217; which means a jurist or a retired bureaucrat. Usually, a former chairman is not appointed, but exceptions can be there.<\/p>\n<p>Once the appointments are made, the panel will have to look at the issue of revamp of the criminal justice system and recommend a bail law to ensure uniformity in the procedure of granting the relief. The two issues are pending with it for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Law Commission is set to get a new chairperson this week, a post lying vacant since last September.
