Land bill UNLIKELY in monsoon session

July 10, 2015 18:56

With no political consensus in sight, the Joint Committee of Parliament examining the land bill is likely to seek more time to submit its report to the House, which may not see the bill coming up for consideration in the Monsoon Session beginning July 21.

Sources in the government as well as in the panel did not rule out further extensions to the Joint Committee. While the government is yet to take a call on convening a Joint Session of Parliament to ensure the passage of the bill, there seems to be no sign of an agreement in the panel.

The Monsoon Session concludes on August 13 and the Winter Session will begin only in November.
