“Uniformity in law secures citizen equality, enhances social harmony and upholds justice.” India has achieved Uniformity in criminal law by covering all aspects which are included in the penal Codes and Code of criminal procedure. But the question of bringing a Uniform Civil Code is unsettled. Public opinion on this is even-S1teven. Some take it as a progressive step and the rest either refuse or remain silent. “The State shall endeavour to secure the citizen a Uniform Civil Code throughout the territory of India”[ The Constitution of India, 1950, Art 44]. The state is required to bring a Uniform Civil Code as per Article 44 of the Constitution of India. Bringing Uniform Civil Code will aid and assist in edifying unity among citizens. It protects vulnerable groups from discrimination and ensures all persons are treated equally irrespective of their religion. The ideology of UCC was first suggested in the Constituent Assembly on 23rd November 1948. Dr B.R Ambedkar’s debates highlighted that “The only province the Civil Law has not been able to invade so far is Marriage and Succession”[ Constituent Assembly Debates,Volume VII—4th November 1948 to 8th January 1949, speech by Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar ]. Those are governed by personal laws. Personal law varies from one religion to another. Bringing UCC to effect is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are multiple hurdles in the implementation of the law. This Article sheds light on Uniform Civil Code and its historical backdrop, marking the stages: from Article 35 of the draft Constitution till its adoption into Part VI of the Indian Constitution, 1950 under Article 44. Discussing the need for UCC and analyzing the version of UCC in Goa and many other countries. Identifying the difficulties in bringing up UCC and trying to find keys to such locks.
