Triple Talaq and Citizenship Amendment Bills Lapse |
The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and the Triple Talaq Bill lapsed in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday after the House was adjourned sine die on the last day of the Budget session. The bills had been facing strong resistance from the Opposition and some of BJP`s own allies. According to the Rajya Sabha Legislative Procedure, a bill pending in the Upper House which has not been passed by Lok Sabha does not lapse on the dissolution of the Lower House. But a bill which is passed by Lok Sabha and is pending in Rajya Sabha lapses on the dissolution of Lok Sabha.
