The juvenile law principle that the child’s best interest is the ‘paramount consideration’ has also been put forward for __D__ universal application. While calling for a wider public debate on its views, the Law Commission has __E__ craved the issue in the most reasonable way possible when it says it has “dealt with laws that are discriminatory rather than providing a uniform civil code which is neither necessary nor desirable at this stage.” In a strict and narrow reading, this goes __F__ with the Directive Principles of State Policy that favour a uniform civil code; also, some court judgments have questioned why such a code was not yet in place.
