Justice Verma was 80. Many of his reccomendations were included in the anti- rape law which was recently passed by Parliament. The panel was set-up soon after the December 16 gang-rape in New Delhi.

The Verma Commission had compiled its report within 29 days. At that point Justice Verma had requested the government to match up to their efficiency.
