SC to consider setting up bench to hear pleas against laws passed as money bills to circumvent RS

On Monday, the Supreme Court announced it would weigh the formation of a Constitution bench to hear challenges against laws passed as 'money bills,' purportedly to sidestep scrutiny in the Upper House of Parliament. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal raised the issue, emphasizing readiness to proceed with the cases. Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud acknowledged the request, indicating consideration for forming necessary benches. The move has been welcomed by the Congress, anticipating a definitive ruling before the CJI's term concludes.
