Ressearch and Development is part and parcel of every industry or line of serious activity. Companies and departments spend a substantial percentage of their respective annual turnovers towards R&D to have the technological edge and to be ahead of the race. But it appears that such is not the case with department of law, in India particularly.
The fact of keeping obsolete or antique laws in force and not making laws precisely to the requirement of the current society indicates that there is hardly any R&D activity appropriate in qauntum to the level of growth of population or the economy or diversity of problems arising year after year.
Government needs to give serious thought to R&D in law, before things go out of reach.
