the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Bill envisages a unified
comprehensive indirect tax system.  Various central, state and local
taxes will be subsumed under the GST.   The Bill gives the central and
state governments the concurrent power to make laws on the taxation of
goods and services.

The
Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) was also passed by
the Lower House. The Bill replaces the Juvenile Justice (Care and
Protection of Children) Act, 2000 and addresses children in conflict
with law and children in need of care and protection. The Bill permits
juveniles between the ages of 16-18 years to be tried as adults for
heinous offences.

Rajya
Sabha passed the Delhi High Court (Amendment) Bill, 2014 during the
week. 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.
