Let adults decide: Justice Chavan on minimal state role in personal matters

Justice Chavan, who recently exited from Maharashtra's Uniform Civil Code panel, has advocated for a "minimum government" approach in personal matters. He argues that adults should be free to make their own decisions without excessive state intervention.

Chavan's remarks come shortly after his departure from the UCC panel, signalling a potential shift in perspective on the scope of government involvement in civil and personal law. His statement underscores the broader debate around the balance between state regulation and individual autonomy in governance.
