Monday, July 27, 2026, Parliament will take up Bills concerning examination paper leaks, Supreme Court judges and protection of national symbols during Monday’s proceedings.
Monsoon Session Brings Anti-Paper Leak Bill to Lok Sabha
The Union government is preparing to introduce the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha on Monday as Parliament continues its Monsoon Session. The proposal is expected to become a major focus of debate amid concern over question-paper leaks, organised cheating and irregularities in national competitive examinations.
According to the listed parliamentary business, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh will seek permission to introduce the amendment to the 2024 law and move it for consideration and passage. The government says the measure is intended to strengthen examination integrity, improve accountability and create a tougher legal response to unfair practices affecting students and recruitment candidates.
Anti-Paper Leak Amendment Seeks Stronger Exam Protection
The proposal comes as students and opposition parties demand greater transparency in major entrance and recruitment tests. While the detailed provisions will become clear after the Bill is formally presented, debate is expected to focus on the responsibilities of examination authorities, service providers and organised groups involved in malpractice.
Members may also question whether tougher penalties alone can prevent leaks or whether stronger digital security, paper-handling systems, audits and grievance procedures are needed. Any amendments could have significant consequences for testing agencies, educational institutions and candidates appearing for centrally conducted examinations.
Supreme Court Judges Bill May Draw Opposition
The Lok Sabha is also scheduled to consider the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, with Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal expected to move it for discussion and passage.
Opposition MPs Sougata Ray, N.K. Premachandran and Dean Kuriakose are listed to move a statutory resolution opposing the related Ordinance promulgated in May 2026. Their objections could trigger a wider debate over the Ordinance route, judicial capacity and the procedure followed while changing the sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court.
Rajya Sabha Takes Up National Honour Amendment Bill
In the Rajya Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to move the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The government says the changes are intended to strengthen legal protection for the dignity of national symbols and honours.
Parliament will also receive official papers and committee reports from several ministries. Lok Sabha business includes reports on rising medicine prices and the disinvestment of fertiliser public sector undertakings. With several politically sensitive Bills listed, Monday’s proceedings are expected to test the government’s floor strategy and the opposition’s coordination during the Monsoon Session.
