Question

which house of the parliament checks hasty legislation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

After five years of adopting the consensus and money bill route to negotiate opposition majority in Rajya Sabha, government’s success in passing several key bills in the same House marks a decisive turn in BJP’s parliamentary strategy. On Friday, NDA moved closer to halfway mark in the Upper House with a second SP MP resigning, taking to three the opposition MPs quitting house membership besides the five defections to BJP, four from TDP and one from INLD.

BJP’s successful wooing of non-allied parties like BJD, TRS, YSRCP on various bills accompanied by a heavy legislative agenda this budget session – 30 bills passed so far in Lok Sabha and 25 in RS – have left the opposition gasping for breath. But it is important that Parliament gets to dissect with a fine comb legislations that governments table. This catches potential constitutional violations and even drafting errors besides throwing up alternative viewpoints. Several poorly drafted legislations enacted without scrutiny have backfired like the Information Technology Act amendments of 2008 that introduced Section 66A, which Supreme Court later struck down as unconstitutional. Even this budget session offers potential candidates for such judicial review, like the RTI Act amendment that undermines the autonomy of central and state information commissions and also the UAPA amendment allowing the Centre to designate individuals as “terrorists”.

Parliamentary standing (and select) committees to which bills and demand for grants are sent for review haven’t been constituted. PRS Research has noted a declining trend in sending bills to committees: 72% of bills in 15th LS were referred against just 25% in 16th LS. These committees are necessary pit stops on the road to framing better laws and for Parliament to function as a meaningful check on executive authority. The quality of legislation is as important as the pace of legislating
