The third day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament began with the Lok Sabha set to take up the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal is scheduled to move the Bill for consideration and passage on Wednesday, July 22, 2026.
The first two days of the session witnessed no legislative business due to protests and sloganeering across both Houses, leading to repeated disruptions.
The Bill aims to increase the number of Supreme Court judges to address the judicial workload and improve the apex court's efficiency. If taken up, it will mark the first major legislative business of the session.
