In a decisive move that underscores his growing influence, Shri Prithviraj Harichandan, the Law, Excise and Works Minister and one of the most powerful figures in the Odisha government, announced that the state will soon constitute a Law Revision Commission. The commission aims to identify outdated acts and rules and recommend reforms to streamline the legal framework for a more efficient governance model.
“The state government is going to constitute a new Law Revision Commission soon. Irrelevant and unnecessary acts will be changed,” Harichandan stated, demonstrating his proactive approach to modernizing Odisha’s legal system. He further added, “The commission will be constituted within 45 days.”
Prithviraj Harichandan has emerged as the power center within the government, driving key reforms and taking charge of significant legislative changes. His influence spans across ministries, and his strategic role in policymaking is making waves in Odisha’s political landscape.
Focus on Obsolete Laws
The Minister emphasized the importance of the commission in dealing with obsolete and irrelevant laws that have become redundant over time. “We have laws that are no longer relevant to the current scenario. These need to be changed, and a Law Revision Commission is the only way to address this effectively,” Harichandan said, reiterating his commitment to enhancing legal frameworks for the benefit of the people.
The commission’s role will be to thoroughly examine existing laws, suggest necessary amendments, and bring reforms that align with the present-day needs of Odisha’s citizens. “The commission would suggest ways to improve and modify laws to make them more useful for the people,” he added, highlighting the state’s forward-looking approach under his leadership.
