Three key bills which seek to replace the IPC, CrPC and the Evidence Act are likely to be taken up for consideration during the session. The bill on the appointment of chief election commissioner and election commissioners may also come up in this session. Introduced in the Monsoon session, the government had not pushed for its passage in the special session of Parliament amid protests from the opposition and former chief election commissioners as it seeks to bring on par the status of the CEC and ECs with that of the cabinet secretary. At present, they enjoy the status of a Supreme Court judge.
