Lok Sabha is adjourned till Wednesday

December 27, 2011 23:57

With the government not entirely having its way in the Lok Sabha, where the Opposition forced the defeat of the bill giving the Lokpal a constitutional status, the first day of the extended Lok Sabha session on Tuesday was a mixed bag.

The Lok Sabha has adjourned till Wednesday, when the agenda is comparatively lighter: The Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill, 2010, that will provide for accountability of judges and establish a credible mechanism for investigating individual complaints of misbehaviour, and also the Bill providing for increasing the retirement age of high court judges from the present 62 years to 65 years.
