Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan urges Centre-State coordination for legal reforms

Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan urged States to review and repeal outdated legislation during the inauguration of a conference organized by the Law Commission of India in New Delhi.

Emphasizing the principle of 'Team India', he noted that cooperative federalism does not require uniformity and that States must retain flexibility to address local needs.

Highlighting ongoing legal updates, he noted that India has replaced three colonial-era criminal laws and repealed over 1,700 obsolete laws over the past 12 years.
