New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Monday passed a bill to replace an ordinance that increased the number of Supreme Court judges from 34 to 38 without a debate, as opposition members persisted with slogan-shouting over the issues of NEET paper leak and alleged theft of Ram temple donations.
Last week, a bill to amend the law on birth and death registration was also passed without any debate in the Lok Sabha under similar circumstances.
A statutory resolution moved by the opposition members denouncing the promulgation of the ordinance was also rejected by a voice vote.
Last week a bill to amend the births and deaths registration was also cleared without a debate.
After the passage of the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, the House was adjourned for the day.
