The Importance of Parliamentary Committees and the Extent to Which Their Recommendations are Binding
Tumblr media
This paper explores the critical role of parliamentary committees in the Indian legislative process and the extent to which their recommendations are binding. It delves into the historical background of these committees, their current functioning, and their significance in ensuring transparency and accountability in lawmaking. The article highlights the introduction of three significant bills by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in August 2023, aimed at modernizing India's criminal laws. It also discusses the criticism faced by these bills and the importance of thorough examination by parliamentary committees. The declining utilization of parliamentary committees in recent years is analysed, emphasizing the need to strengthen their role to enhance India's parliamentary democracy.
Introduction
In August 2023, Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three significant bills in the Lok Sabha aimed at modernizing India's criminal laws. These bills, namely the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Bill, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) Bill, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya (BS) Bill, 2023, are set to replace the colonial-era Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1898, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. The primary objective of these bills is to streamline the justice delivery process, ensuring timely justice for the citizens of India.
However, these new laws have faced substantial criticism. Critics argue that the laws, despite their complex Hindi nomenclature, retain much of the substance of the old laws in English. There is also concern that the changes are minimal and could have been achieved through amendments to the existing laws. While the removal of 'sedition' is welcomed, there are fears about the potential misuse of provisions targeting 'subversive activities' and 'endangering the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India.' These issues highlight the need for thorough examination by the parliamentary standing committee to prevent arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.
Historical Background of Parliamentary Committees
The Indian Parliament commenced in 1952, and since then, several reforms have been made to enhance its effectiveness, including the establishment of parliamentary committees. The concept of legislative committees in India dates back to the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms of 1919. Initially, these committees were formed at the provincial level and later extended to the national level by 1933. Among the earliest and most significant committees is the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), established in 1921. Over time, the PAC and other committees evolved to include members from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
In May 1964, the Committee on Public Undertakings (CPU) was formed to oversee the growing number of public enterprises. By 1993, a joint committee of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha approved the creation of Departmentally Related Standing Committees (DRSCs) to enhance legislative scrutiny.
Understanding the Role of Parliamentary Committees
Parliamentary committees in India are categorized into Standing Committees and Ad Hoc Committees, authorized by Article 118(1) of the Indian Constitution. Ad hoc committees are temporary and dissolve after completing their assigned tasks. They include Advisory Committees and Inquiry Committees, such as select and joint committees focusing on specific bills.
In contrast, standing committees have a fixed term and operate continuously. There are six types of standing committees: financial committees, departmental standing committees, committees for inquiries, committees for scrutiny and control, committees related to daily House affairs, and housekeeping or service committees. These committees play a permanent and crucial role in the legislative process.
Significance of Parliamentary Committees and Their Recommendations
Parliamentary committees are vital for scrutinizing bills and examining their implications. However, recent trends indicate a decline in their utilization, which undermines the effectiveness of India's parliamentary democracy. A report by Hindustan Times estimates that between 2009 and 2014, around 71% of bills were referred to parliamentary committees. This practice sharply declined to 25% between 2014 and 2019, raising concerns about the legislature's ability to effectively scrutinize laws.
The reduced use of parliamentary committees signifies a shift away from comprehensive bill examination and consultation. Data from PRS Legislative Research highlights the decline in committee referrals, especially in the 16th Lok Sabha (2014-2019), raising questions about transparency, accountability, and the inclusivity of the legislative process.
Current Status
One notable example of a parliamentary committee's significant work is the development of the Digital Data Protection Bill. Following the Puttaswamy judgment in 2017, which recognized privacy as a fundamental right, the Justice Srikrishna Committee was established to craft a data protection framework for India. Based on its report, the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, was introduced in the Lok Sabha and later referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee. This committee's insights and recommendations were crucial in shaping the bill, leading to the introduction of a new Draft Digital Data Protection Bill for public consultation in November 2022.
Conclusion
The three bills introduced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah aim to modernize India's criminal laws, replacing colonial-era frameworks. Despite facing criticism, these bills have been sent to the standing parliamentary committee for review. The declining utilization of parliamentary committees, as highlighted by reports from Hindustan Times and PRS Legislative Research, is a concerning trend. To strengthen India's parliamentary democracy and ensure transparent and effective lawmaking, it is imperative to recognize the significance of parliamentary committee recommendations. These recommendations should be considered binding to enhance accountability, transparency, and inclusivity in the legislative process.

Yellow Gas Attack On The Indian Parliament
On the anniversary of the 2001 parliament attack by two Pakistani-based terrorist groups, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, two men jumped from the gallery of the Lok Sabha on Wednesday and opened canisters that generated yellow smoke.
They were sat in the Lok Sabha’s visitor’s gallery. When the house was at zero hour, they jumped from the gallery, hopping from desk to desk, appearing to be heading for the house’s well. According to the MPs who witnessed the occurrence, they recounted the events and their casual clandestine chanting that was influenced by some ideology.

Corona: ఒమిక్రాన్ బీఎఫ్.7. కొత్త వేరియంట్. విస్తృంతగా వ్యాపించే సత్తా. వ్యాక్సిన్ వేసుకున్నా ప్రభావం చూపించే వైరస్. అందుకే, కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం హైఅలర్ట్ అయింది. దేశంలో ఉన్నవి 4 కేసులే అయినా.. ఆరోగ్యశాఖ ఎంతగానో కంగారు పడుతోంది. ఏమాత్రం నిర్లక్ష్యం చేసినా.. ప్రమాదమని హెచ్చరిస్తోంది. అందుకే కొత్త వేరియంట్ పై అన్నిరాష్ట్రాలను అప్రమత్తం చేసింది. బహిరంగ ప్రదేశాల్లో మాస్క్ వాడటం తప్పనిసరి చేసింది కేంద్రం. ఆ మేరకు కేంద్ర ఆరోగ్యమంత్రి మన్సుఖ్ మాండవీయ లోక్ సభలో కీలక ప్రకటన చేశారు.
రాబోయే పండుగ సీజన్, న్యూ ఇయర్ సందర్భంగా అలర్ట్ గా ఉండాలని.. మాస్కులు, శానిటైజర్ల వాడకంపై ప్రజల్లో మరింత అవగాహన కల్పించాలని.. భౌతికదూరం పాటించేలా చూడాలని రాష్ట్రాలను కోరారు. ప్రికాషన్‌ డోసుల కవరేజీ పెంచాలన్నారు. ప్రతి కొవిడ్‌ కేసును జీనోమ్‌ సీక్వెన్సింగ్‌కు పంపాలని సూచించారు. ప్రజలు కూడా ముందు జాగ్రత్త చర్యలు తీసుకోవాలని విజ్ఞప్తి చేశారు.
