Due to the continued protests, the Chair adjourned the House till 2:00 p.m.

Despite the disruptions, the Lok Sabha's listed business includes consideration of the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, which seeks to amend the sanctioned strength of judges in the Supreme Court.

Rajya Sabha to Consider Public Examinations Amendment Bill

The Bill was approved by a voice vote in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday and now awaits discussion in the Upper House.
