Book on civil code presented to Governor

Special Correspondent

BHUBANESWAR: A book titled ‘Uniform Civil Code A Road Map Through Common Law of Succession for Women’, written by K.C. Jena, was presented to Governor Rameshwar Thakur here recently.

The book is an honest attempt to provide food for thought for legal luminaries, intellectuals and lawmakers. It portrays the rights of Indian women relating to succession.

Supreme Court Judge Justice Arijit Pasayat has written foreword and former professor of Benaras Hindu University B.N. Sampath has written the preface of the book. Professor Jena is working as Principal of Lajpat Rai Law College of Sambalpur University.

The author has advocated that the secular character of the Indian State can be achieved fully only by a Uniform Civil Code which severs the connection between religion and civil rights.

The book is priced at Rs. 195.
