Parliament Considers Supreme Court Judges Increase and Anti-Paper Leak Bill Amid Protests
During the 2026 Monsoon Session, Parliament focused on key legislation including the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill to increase judges from 34 to 38, and the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, which introduces stricter penalties for exam paper leaks. The anti-paper leak bill passed amid opposition protests and walkouts, with debates highlighting student demonstrations and police actions. Other bills on births and deaths registration and MSME development were also scheduled. Opposition parties planned protests over police conduct and raised concerns about temple donation allegations.
