Lok Sabha passes bill to raise Supreme Court judge strength without debate
The Lok Sabha has passed the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, which aims to increase the sanctioned number of judges in the apex court. The bill was cleared without any debate taking place on the floor of the house. It will now be forwarded to the Rajya Sabha for further consideration and approval. The government contends that expanding the bench will enhance judicial efficiency and help clear cases faster. This marks the first revision to the sanctioned judicial strength since 2019.
