December 22 , 2024 8 hrs 0 min 28 0
The Lok Sabha has adopted a resolution to refer the constitutional amendment bills for holding Lok Sabha and assembly elections simultaneously to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).
This JPC will have a total of 39 members, with 27 from the Lok Sabha and 12 from the Rajya Sabha.
It will be headed by the BJP MP PP Chaudhary.
A Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) is set up by the Parliament for a special purpose, like the detailed scrutiny of a subject or Bill.
As the name suggests, it has members from both the Houses and from the ruling parties and the opposition.
It is dissolved after its term ends or its task has been completed.
The recommendations of a JPC are not binding on the government.
The government can choose to launch further investigations based on what the JPC has said, but it can’t be forced to do so.
