Advocates Amendment Bill 2023 to be Presented in Lok Sabha Today by Law Minister Arjun Meghwal

In the wake of the recent passing of the Women's Reservation Bill, the focus now shifts to the Advocates Amendment Bill, 2023, as Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal is set to introduce it in the Lok Sabha today. The bill, previously approved in the Rajya Sabha, aims to amend the Advocates Act, 1961, by repealing obsolete provisions from the Legal Practitioners Act, 1879.

 

One significant aspect of the bill is its stance on 'Touting,' wherein individuals attempt to secure legal representation in exchange for payments. The proposed amendment seeks to make 'Touting' a punishable offense and empowers judges to publish a list of individuals engaged in such activities. Those listed as touts could be excluded from court premises.

 

The legislative agenda for the day also includes discussions on the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission and the nation's achievements in the space sector.

 

Additionally, the session covers various reports from standing committees, such as the Committee on Estimates, the Standing Committee on Home Affairs, and reports related to Education, Women, Children, Youth, and Sports.

 

The legislative business of the Lok Sabha for Thursday also encompasses reports from the standing committees on Transport, Tourism, Culture, and Health and Family Welfare.

 

This session witnessed the historic passage of the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam,' marking the first bill approved by the Lok Sabha since it relocated to the new Parliament building. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed this legislation as a significant step forward for women's empowerment, enhancing their participation in the political process.
