The government will soon table in Parliament the controversial Ranganath Mishra Commission report, which has reportedly recommended reservation for minorities and SC status to Dalits.
Parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, however, did not specify the date for tabling the report. The winter session of Parliament is concluding on December 21.
Opposition members have been insisting that the government table the report along with action taken report (ATR) before long.
Government sources, however, said since Ranganath Mishra Commission was not constituted under the Commission of Enquiry Act, there is no necessity for submitting an ATR with it.
The government will also introduce the Commercial Division of High Courts Bill, 2009, aiming at formation of special courts for speedy disposal of commercial cases, in Lok Sabha this week.
The commercial divisions of the High Courts will take up cases worth Rs 5 crore and above. It will follow a fast track procedure for the disposal of such cases which otherwise take the normal time taking route.
Judges with aptitude in accountancy and commercial matters will be allocated to this division in various high courts. The Ministry of Law and Justice has already sent the bill for cabinet approval.
National Capital Territory (NCT) bill, dealing with the issue of increasing ceiling in NCT areas, is being introduced tomorrow in Lok Sabha.
Other important bills, which will come up before Parliament in this session are Civil Defence Amendment Bill, which focuses on imparting training to the youths in disaster management, NREGA Amendment Bill, Trademark Amendment Bill and Metallurgy Bill.
Bansal said the session will run till December 21 as per schedule and there was no plan to conclude it early.
