ब्रिटिशकालीन कानून जो आज भी देश में लागू हैं
समय के साथ कानून में बदलाव होना चाहिए
आज के समय के अनुसार देश में कानून बनने चाहिए क्योंकि उनके बनाए सारे कानून आज भी देश में लागू हैं।
अंग्रेजों ने भारत पर 200 सालो तक शासन किया। इस दौरान उन्होंने अपनी सहूलियत के हिसाब से देश को चलाने के लिए कई कानून बनाए। ब्रिटिश कानून गुलामी मानसिकता को सोच के बनाए गए थे। इसलिए आज के समय के अनुसार देश में कानून बनने चाहिए क्योंकि उनके बनाए सारे कानून आज भी देश में लागू हैं। यह बदलने चाहिए तभी देश को पूरी तरह आजादी मिल सकेगी। एडवोकेट विवेक नंदवाना का कहना है कि अनेक राज्य ने इन कानून में से कुछ कानून को अपने स्तर पर या तो पूर्ण रूप से समाप्त कर दिया है या इनके कुछ भाग (अध्याय /धाराओं) को समाप्त कर दिया है। ऐसे राज्यों में इन प्राचीन कानून के स्थान पर नए कानून ने स्थान ले लिया है। एडवोकेट विवेक नंदवाना ने ऐसे ही कानूनों की सूची उपलब्ध करवाई, जो ब्रिटिश काल से चले आ रहे हैं और आज भी प्रभावी हैं।
