Lakshadweep invites public comments on its draft Prisons and Correctional Services Regulation, 2026

5 November 2026

The Lakshadweep Administration has put out a public notice seeking comments and suggestions on the draft Lakshadweep Prisons and Correctional Services Regulation, 2026. The notice appears under Notices on the official Lakshadweep website from 5 November 2026 to 5 December 2026. A Union Territory such as Lakshadweep has no legislature of its own, so laws for it can take the form of Regulations. The President makes these under Article 240 of the Constitution, and a Regulation promulgated by the President has the same force as an Act of Parliament. The subject of the draft, prisons, is Entry 4 of the State List.
