Supreme Court Judges Bill Passes Lok Sabha Without Debate

A new law to add more judges to India's top court was approved in the lower house of Parliament.

The lawmakers did not discuss it before voting.

After the vote, the house closed for the day.

A BJP member said the government had wanted to talk about the bill first.

He also said the opposition had used rude words about the court and students.

The bill was on the agenda for three weeks.

The law does not appear in the Constitution.

The vote was quick and without debate.

The new judges will help the court handle more cases.
