Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) partners could approach the Supreme Court to challenge some of the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyay (Second) Sanhita Bill, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) and Bharatiya Samanta (Second) Bill that seek to replace the existing criminal laws.
Informed sources claimed that this was discussed at a meeting of floor leaders of INDIA partners, convened by Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday. There is, however, no official word on it yet.
Congress general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh, in a post on X, accused the government of getting Opposition members suspended only to pass the Bill without listening to best legal minds on the subject in Parliament.
