Bill to Increase Supreme Court Judges Introduced in Lok Sabha
A bill to increase the number of Supreme Court judges from 33 to 37, excluding the Chief Justice of India, was introduced in the Lok Sabha.

This move aims to help reduce the pendency of cases, particularly those involving complex legal questions. The bill was introduced by Minister Meghwal.
