Law Commissions should follow up a holistic approach and mull over the advantages and disadvantages of any planned reforms in perspective of culture and their practical facet.

After kicking off the biennial conference of the Commonwealth Association of Law Reform Agencies (CALRAs), Law Commission Chairman P V Reddy made this announcement.

Mr. Reddy stated, "A rational, balanced and foresighted approach coupled with lucid juristic analysis should form the course of lawreforms. A cool and dispassionate analysis and thinking intune with the constitutional values and larger societal interest are the hallmarks of law reform process."

"A pedantic or a purely legalistic approach without regard to practical aspects and ground realities is notexpected of Law Reform Commissions (LRC)," the retired Supreme Court Judge added.

LRCs have to handle multifaceted socio-legal matters that take place in modern society and discover a lawful answer to the unnerving troubles linked with government of justice.

The LRCs, particularly in Nations, have played a important task in determining laws.

He also said that LRCs have came forth as major players in imparting institutional assurance for bettered, rectified and vigorous laws.

"LRCs have become a supporting mechanism in formingthe opinion and planning for the requisite legal changes," the Law Commission chief maintained said.
