Should laws have expiration dates?
Madhav Godbole agrees and says:
In India, there is no 'sunset' clause in any legislation and a law once enacted continues till eternity. No provision is made to lay down a specific time limit when the act would lapse, unless reviewed and re-enacted. And the manner in which most laws are enacted for political expediency, often without wider public consultations and scrutiny by select committees of Parliament, leads to a mockery of the justice system.
