DRAFT CLEAR & SIMPLE LAWS”

Says Amit Shah at training programme on legislative drafting

New Delhi (Agencies):

Union Home Minister

Amit Shah on Monday said that it is important to draft clear and simple laws. He said this after inaugurating a training programme on Legislative Drafting in the national Capital. He stressed the need for a well drafted legislation.

“If legislation is drafted well, the judiciary won’t get an opportunity to overstep it. Grey areas leave scope for encroachment. Legislation should reflect the political will of the Cabinet or Parliament,’” Shah said.

Addressing the gathering at the event, Shah said it is important to draft a “simple and clear act’” to avoid interference from the court and any kind of dispute.

Noting that legislative drafting is an ongoing process, the home minister also emphasised upgrading the skill while drafting any act.

“Drafting of legislation is an ongoing pro- cess so there is a necessity for skill upgradation. If we fail to do so we would be irrelevant,’” Shah added. In the training programme that was built with an aim to help the legislative draftsmen in their capacity building, Shah added that neglecting the importance of legislative drafting not only weakens the law and order but also the democratic system of the country.

He said the BJP failed (to win) in the Karnataka polls despite its ‘Bajrangbali’ pitch.

Manipur CM N Biren Singh on Monday said that the Centre has assured there will be no compromise on the state’s integrity.
