Parliament Diary

Budget Session – Day 30 : May 6th, 2015

Lok Sabha passed the Constitutional (122ndAmendment) Bill, 2014 to rollout the Goods and Services Tax (GST).  19 members had participated in the debate yesterday. The Finance Minister in his reply today addressed the concerns of the members with regard to compensation, additional 1% tax levied, among other things.

The Bill was finally passed by the Lower House with 352 ayes and 37 noes, securing more than 2/3rd majority present and voting.  Such a special majority, for constitutional amendment bills is a requirement as per Article 368. The Bill will now have to be passed by the Upper House with the same 2/3rd majority, present and voting and then be ratified by not less than one half of the State legislatures.

Discussion on the Juvenile Justice Bill began in Lok Sabha. The Bill replaces the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000.  It addresses children in conflict with law and children in need of care and protection.  Several members during the debate raised concerns about the constitutional violations in the Bill regarding separate treatment of juveniles based on date of apprehension (Right to equality). Members also pointed out that differential treatment to juveniles is not in accordance with the UNCRC, ratified by India, and mentioned in the Bill’s Statement of Objective Reasons.

The Minister of Finance also introduced the Negotiable Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2015 in the lower house.

Rajya Sabha passed the Constitution (119thAmendment) Bill, 2013. The Bill amends the First Schedule of the Constitution to ratify an agreement entered into by India and Bangladesh on the acquiring and transfer of territories between the two countries on May 16, 1974.

The Delhi High Court (Amendment) Bill, 2014 was also passed by Rajya Sabha.  The Bill increases pecuniary jurisdiction of the high court of Delhi.  The Delhi high court as the Bill provides will now have jurisdiction over suits which are above the value of Rs 2 crore. 

The Upper House decided that the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill be sent to a Select Committee.  The Committee must submit its report by the first week of the Monsoon Session.  To know more about the features and related issues you can read our detailed analysis here.
