Can people write directly to Law Commission of India with suggestions for Changing Laws?

I think people can write directly to Law Commission and suggest changes in any particular law. The Commission seems have a very small staff (may be about a dozen). So how they will be able to read suggestions of people is a question. But the website of www.lawcommissionofIndia.nic.in does invite suggestions from people.

What website says?

It says, "The Commission welcomes suggestions from any person, institution or organisation on the issues under consideration of the Commission, which may be sent to the Member-Secretary.

But what are the issues which "are under consideration of Law Commission of India" about which people can write ?

I have no idea. Presently 19th Law Commission of India is functioning. Its term ends in August 2012. Recently it seems to have given 235th Report (Advice to Government) on


Conversion/ Reversion to another religion and its mode of proof.


I think for more details, you can email directly to commission.
