The Aug 5-30 monsoon session of Parliament could see a battle of political wits with the government listing 44 bills for the only 16 working days available.

The BJP, which disrupted the budget session demanding Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's resignation over the faulty allocation of coal bocks, has said it does not want to disrupt the monsoon session.Kamal Nath said the Opposition parties want to pass the judicial commission bill, which deals with appointment of judges, in this session.

The opposition wants debates on the land acquisition bill, the state of the economy, rampant corruption in the mid-day meal scheme, floods in Uttarakhand, the ongoing tussle between the CBI and the IB in the Ishrat Jahan shootout case and Chinese intrusions into the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir.

The opposition leaders are also concerned over another Supreme Court order barring reservation in super-speciality courses in medical colleges.
