Parl passes Bill to update, simplify legal framework for shipping documents

Parliament on Monday passed The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025 that aims to update and simplify the legal framework for shipping documents. The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, which was passed by the Lok Sabha in March this year, was passed in the Rajya Sabha by a voice vote in the absence of Opposition who staged a walk out in the post-lunch session. Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal moved the bill for consideration and passage by the Upper House. He said the new legislation will replace the Indian Bill of Lading Act 1856 as the Bill of Lading Act 2025. A bill of lading refers to a document issued by a freight carrier to a shipper. It contains details such as the type, quantity, condition and destination of goods being carried. The bill seeks to make provisions for the transfer of rights of suit and all liabilities to the consignee named in a bill of lading and every endorsee of a bill of lading, to whom the property in the goods mentioned in the bill of lading shall pass, upon or by reason of a consignment or an endorsement.

Cash discovery row: 63 opposition MPs submit notice in RS for removal of Justice Varma

Agencies High court judge Yashwant Varma (File Photo) Sixty-three opposition MPs on Monday gave a notice in the Rajya Sabha to move a motion for the removal of high court judge Yashwant Varma from whose residence burnt wads of currency notes were found following a fire incident in March. Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain said the notice has been submitted to Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. A similar notice for moving a motion to remove Justice Varma has been submitted by ruling BJP and opposition members in the Lok Sabha. Hussain said, "63 opposition MPs, including those from AAP and INDIA bloc parties, have given a notice to the Rajya Sabha Chairman for removal of Justice Varma." Although TMC members were not present today, they are on board on the issue and will submit their signatures later, he said. A motion for the removal of a judge has to be signed by not less than 100 MPs in the Lok Sabha and 50 in the Rajya Sabha. The motion can either be accepted or rejected by the Speaker/Chairman of the House. If the motion is admitted, the Speaker or the Chairman of the House forms a three-member committee in accordance with the Judges Inquiry Act. The committee comprising a senior judge of the Supreme Court, a sitting Chief Justice of a High Court and a distinguished jurist will then probe the charges levelled against Justice Varma and come out with a report in three months. The inquiry report will be tabled in Parliament followed by a discussion in both Houses, after which there will be voting on the motion for removal of Justice Varma. Though Justice Varma has denied any wrongdoing, a Supreme Court-appointed in-house inquiry panel has concluded that the judge and his family members had covert or active control over the storeroom, where the cash was found, proving his misconduct serious enough to seek his removal.

Monsoon Session Opener Sees Govt Vs Opposition On Op Sindoor, Repeated Adjournments Follow

Last Updated: The Parliament Monsoon Session got off to a stormy start on Monday as the Lok Sabha witnessed a government vs Opposition showdown over Operation Sindoor. The Monsoon Session of Parliament got off to a stormy start on Monday, as lawmakers from the Opposition benches created ruckus in the Lok Sabha, demanding a discussion on Operation Sindoor, despite assurance from the treasury benches to hold a comprehensive discussion on the subject. While the Rajya Sabha recorded routine debate and discussions and was adjourned at around 4.30 pm, the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day soon after reassembling for the fourth time at 4 pm. As soon as the House reconvened at 4 pm after the third adjournment, Dilip Saikia, who was in the Chair, urged the MPs to let the House function to allow a bill on readjustment of Goa Assembly seats to be taken up. However, the Opposition continued to raise slogans, demanding discussion on Operation Sindoor. The House had earlier met at 2 pm after the second adjournment, when the Chair appealed to the Opposition to let the House function; however, the proceedings were adjourned till 4 pm due to continuous ruckus. Earlier in the day, Speaker Om Birla assured the Opposition MPs that the government wants to hold a comprehensive discussion on the topics raised by the Opposition and therefore they should take part in the Question Hour and Zero Hour at 11 am and 12 pm respectively. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also stood up in the House to assure the MPs that the government is ready to hold a long discussion on all issues that the Speaker gives a nod to. 'The government is ready to discuss any topic the opposition wants. Whatever time they need to discuss, the government is ready to answer all questions," Singh said in Lok Sabha. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also appealed to the Opposition to put forth their demand during a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), which was scheduled at 2.30 pm in the day. 'The government is ready to reply to all the issues that the Speaker agrees to at the BAC meeting. But to raise slogans and not let the House function on the first day of the Monsoon session is unacceptable," Rijiju said in the House. As the Opposition MPs carried on with their protest in the Well of the House, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal, who was in the Chair at that moment, urged them to take their seats with an assurance that the Speaker would allow them to raise all matters that they intended to discuss. Pal also appealed to Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the lower house, to let Zero Hour function. 'I appeal to the leader of Opposition, I appeal to Rahul Gandhi to let the House take up Zero Hour. People of the country are watching the proceedings and seeing that the government is ready to discuss all issues, but the opposition does not want the House to function," he said. The Opposition members insisted soon after the obituary references at 11 am to take up a discussion on Operation Sindoor. Birla said that he was ready to allow the MPs to raise all issues, including Operation Sindoor, after the end of the Question Hour. 'I will allow you to raise all issues after Question Hour. The House will function according to rules and regulations. I cannot allow sloganeering and raising of placards," he said. 'Honourable members, this is Question Hour. We must try to maintain high parliamentary standards. We must try to fulfil the hopes and expectations of the people who have elected us and debate and discuss important issues of the country. Go outside the House for sloganeering. You want a discussion on Operation Sindoor, I will allow it after Question Hour. The government is ready to reply to all issues," he said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
