During the session, three important bills that aim to replace the Evidence Act, the CrPC, and the IPC are probably going to be discussed.
During this session, the measure pertaining to the appointment of the chief election commissioner and election commissioners could possibly be discussed. Introduced during the monsoon session, the administration failed to press for its adoption during the special session of Parliament due to opposition and former chief election commissioner complaints. The government’s goal is to equalise the stature of the cabinet secretary and the chief election commissioners. They currently have the status of Supreme Court judges.
The historic women’s reservation measure was enacted during a special parliament session in September that moved activities from the old building to the new one.
