Law making process of India.

Courtesy/By: Kadam Hans  |  26 Apr 2023     Views:9474

Introduction: India is a federal republic with a parliamentary system of government. The legislative branch of the Indian government consists of two houses: the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People). The legislative process of India involves the formulation, discussion, and passage of bills in both houses of parliament. This research note aims to provide a detailed overview of the law-making process in India.

Step 1: Drafting of the Bill The first step in the legislative process is the drafting of the bill. Bills can be introduced in either house of parliament by the government, private members, or committees. The Ministry concerned prepares the draft bill, which is then scrutinized by the Legislative Department of the Ministry of Law and Justice.

Step 2: Introduction of the Bill After the bill is drafted, it is introduced in the House of Parliament where it originates. The member who introduces the bill gives a brief explanation of the bill's objectives and provisions.

Step 3: First Reading After the introduction of the bill, the house holds the first reading, during which the bill is introduced, and the general principles and objectives of the bill are discussed.

Step 4: Referral to Committee After the first reading, the bill is referred to a committee for further examination. The committee consists of members of parliament from both houses, and its role is to examine the bill in detail, gather public opinion, and make suggestions for amendments, if any.

Step 5: Report Stage After the committee has examined the bill, it submits a report to the House. The report includes any proposed amendments and suggestions made by the committee.

Step 6: Second Reading During the second reading, the bill is discussed clause by clause, and any amendments proposed by the committee are considered. Members of parliament may propose additional amendments during this stage.

Step 7: Third Reading During the third reading, the bill is debated and voted upon. If the majority of members vote in favour of the bill, it is passed in the House of Parliament where it was introduced.

Step 8: Transmission to the Other House After the bill is passed in the house where it was introduced, it is transmitted to the other house for consideration.

Step 9: Reconsideration by the Other House The other house considers the bill and may propose amendments. If the amendments are accepted by the originating house, the bill is passed. If the amendments are not accepted, the bill may be sent to a joint session of both houses for resolution.

Step 10: Assent of the President After a bill is passed by both houses of parliament, it is sent to the President of India for assent. If the President gives his assent, the bill becomes law.

Conclusion: The law-making process in India is a complex and multi-stage process involving both houses of parliament and the President. The process involves extensive discussion, examination, and public input, ensuring that laws passed reflect the views and concerns of the people. This process is vital in ensuring that the laws passed are effective, fair, and meet the needs of the Indian people.
