In the midst of the din, the Rajya Sabha passed and returned ‘The Jammu and Kashmir Appropriation (No 2) Bill, 2023’ and ‘The Appropriation Bill, 2023’ or Finance Bill 2023. These bills were passed amid a commotion caused by opposition parties seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation into the Adani-Hindenburg dispute. Both bills were passed by the Lok Sabha last week, amid a similar uproar over the same issue from the opposition parties.
The ‘Jammu and Kashmir Appropriation (No 2) Bill, 2023’ and ‘The Appropriation Bill, 2023’ were considered and returned in the Rajya Sabha minutes after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman moved them.

The Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha last week without debate, amid much clamour in the Lower House.
