Parliament Winter Session from December 4 to December 22, 15 sittings in 19 days

The Winter Session of Parliament usually begins in November but this time it has been deferred to December because of the ongoing elections.

Three key bills which seek to replace the IPC, CrPC and the Evidence Act are likely to be taken up for consideration during the session. The bill on the appointment of chief election commissioner and election commissioners may also come up in this session. Introduced in the Monsoon session, the government had not pushed for its passage in the special session of Parliament amid protests from the opposition and former chief election commissioners as it seeks to bring on a par the status of the CEC and ECs with that of the cabinet secretary. At present, they enjoy the status of a Supreme Court judge.

In September, a Special Parliament Session was held in which the proceedings shifted from the old building to the new one and the historic women's reservation bill was passed.
