Various ministries and departments in the government of India will provide the content for the India Code website
The government is working on arranging all the enforced laws in India and uploading them on the website
The development came in the wake of a complaint filed by Vansh Sharad Gupta (then a law student) in 2012 with the Central Information Commission as he couldn't find the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1972, on any central government website
The legislative department, under the ministry of law and justice, is developing a website called India Code, which will contain all laws enacted in India. “With the help of this system, retrieving of any Central Act and its relevant subordinate legislation of one’s interest in an up-to-date form has been simplified and made extremely user-friendly and accessible at push of few buttons,” says the India code website.
According to the website, which is already up and running, India Code is a database of all central enactments that are in force and their subordinate legislations, made from time to time.
