NEW DELHI: Winter session 2023 of Parliament will take place from December 4-22 with 15 sittings spread over 19 days.
Making the announcement on X, earlier known as Twitter, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, said, “Winter Session, 2023 of Parliament will commence from 4th December and continue till 22nd December having 15 sittings spread over 19 days.Amid Amrit Kaal looking forward to discussions on Legislative Business and other items during the session.”
The Ethics Committee’s report on the ‘cash-for-query’ allegations against TMC MP Mahua Moitra is scheduled to be presented in the Lok Sabha during the upcoming session. It is essential for the House to endorse the report before the recommended expulsion, as proposed by the committee, can take effect.
Additionally, three significant bills aiming to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Evidence Act are expected to be deliberated upon during this session. The standing committee on Home has recently approved these three reports, paving the way for their consideration.
Another noteworthy bill currently pending in Parliament pertains to the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs). Initially introduced during the Monsoon session, the government did not pursue its passage during a special parliamentary session, mainly due to opposition and resistance from former chief election commissioners. This bill aims to equate the status of the CEC and ECs with that of the cabinet secretary, as they presently hold the status equivalent to a Supreme Court judge.
