The Parliamentary Winter Session is scheduled to take place from November 25 to December 20, 2024, as announced by Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju ¹. This session is significant, as it will coincide with the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Indian Constitution on November 26, which will be celebrated in the Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan.

During this session, several key events and discussions are expected to take place. The Joint Committee on Waqf Amendment Bill is anticipated to submit its report on November 29, adhering to the deadline set in the previous session ¹. Additionally, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to introduce three amended criminal law bills to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act ¹.

The winter session will provide an opportunity for parliamentarians to discuss and debate crucial legislation, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita Bill, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill ¹. These bills aim to reform the country’s criminal justice system and have been redrafted based on recommendations from a parliamentary standing committee.
