Rajya Sabha passes amended land boundary bill

New Delhi, May 11: The Rajya Sabha on Monday approved amendments to the land boundary agreement bill to correct an error in the name of the act. The Constitution (One Hundred and Nineteenth Amendment) Bill, 2013 was passed by the Rajya Sabha earlier this week.The error was in the numbering of the bill as “119th” amendment in the title, while it had become “100th” amendment when it was passed. Numbering of constitutional bills are adhoc and change as not all bills introduced are passed.In the upper house, the change was made in the title of the bill, but in the text of the bill changes were not made. However, when it went to the Lok Sabha, a minor mistake in the numbering of the bill, which becomes the Constitution (One Hundredth Amendment) Act, 2015, was noticed and corrected, and the bill was then passed.“The bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha at its sitting held on May 6, 2015 and transmitted to Lok Sabha for concurrence. The Lok Sabha at its sitting held on May 7, 2015 passed the Bill with amendments to Clause 3 of the bill,” said an explanation in the footnotes of the list of business of the Rajya Sabha for Monday.
