<br/><br/>The Law Commission has dismissed reports published in a section of a media about hiring law firms to pursue the work assigned to it as incorrect and baseless. In a statement, the Commission said, several advocates, research associates, academic institutions and faculty members of law schools approach it from time to time with a request to get associated with the Commission.<br/><br/> The statement said, the Commission operates according to its mandate and it is expected to develop partnership network with reputed law universities, law schools and policy research institutions in the country. In view of this, the Commission is always open to accept any academic work from such institutions, in relation to the study done by it.<br/><br/>However, such an understanding with any research institution will in no way mean that the Commission is hiring any third party to perform its functions. The Commission also clarified that it has not assigned any of its projects to anyone.
