Parliament to take up judicial, MSME, exam reform bills

The Lok Sabha on Thursday is set to consider the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, while the Rajya Sabha will take up the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, and the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The Lok Sabha passed the exam reform bill a day earlier after a heated debate. The bills aim to increase the number of Supreme Court judges, strengthen anti-cheating measures with enhanced punishments and fast-track courts, and revise MSME regulations.
