--------------
The word "or" is normally disjunctive and "and" is normally conjunctive but at times they are read as vice versa to give effect to the manifest intention of the Legislature as disclosed from the context.

PRIVATE MEMBERโS BILLS
PMBs are legislative proposals introduced by Members of Parliament (MPs) who are not Ministers (i.e., not part of the government), enabling them to raise issues and suggest laws or amendments on matters significant to their constituencies. It reflects individual viewpoints, not necessarily the governmentโs official agenda.
Procedure in Parliament
1. Introduced on Fridays in both Houses as per Rules of Procedure.
2. Follows the same stages as a government billโfirst reading, discussion, voting.
3. Can become law if passed in both Houses and gets Presidential assent.
Recent Data and Decline: (Source: PRS Legislative Research)
โญ๏ธ Only 14 PMBs passed since Independence; none since 1970 passed both Houses.
โญ๏ธ17th Lok Sabha: 729 PMBs introduced (only 2 discussed).
โญ๏ธ 18th Lok Sabha (2024): 64 PMBs introduced, zero discussed so far.
โญ๏ธIn 2024 Winter Session, Lok Sabha spent just 0.15 hours on PMBs and Rajya Sabha 0.62 hours.
Significance of Private Memberโs Bills
1. Encourages Democratic Expression: Enables MPs to propose legislation on personal conviction or constituency needs.
E.g. Supriya Suleโs โRight to Disconnectโ Bill (2019).
2. Policy Incubator: Often precedes government legislation on sensitive issues.
E.g. Tiruchi Sivaโs 2014 Transgender Rights Bill inspired the 2019 Act.
3. Platform for Ruling Party MPs: Allows ruling MPs to voice independent views.
E.g. Gopal Shettyโs Bill on healthcare for senior citizens.
4. Strengthens Parliamentary Oversight: Fosters deliberative democracy beyond party whip controls.
Reasons for Decline in PMBs:
1. Government Priority: Government business overshadows Friday PMB slots.
E.g. Budget discussions replaced PMB sessions in 2024.
2. Frequent Disruptions: Adjournments and walkouts truncate scheduled time for PMBs.
E.g. 2 Fridays lost in 2024 Winter Session.
3. Anti-Defection Law Impact: MPs often hesitate to challenge party line even in PMBs.
Post-52nd Amendment limits dissent.
4. MP Disinterest & Timing Issues: Many MPs skip Friday sessions to return to constituencies.
5. Chairโs Discretion: Arbitrary scheduling and limited discussion under Speakerโs or Chairmanโs control.
E.g. Limited PMB discussion despite full 62-hour session.
Reforms Needed
1. Protect Friday Time for PMBs: Amend rules to make this time non-negotiable, barring national emergencies.
2. Midweek Scheduling: Shift PMB discussions to Wednesdays to avoid low attendance.
3. Priority Committee for PMBs: Set up an expert review panel to shortlist high-impact Bills for fast-track discussion.
E.g. Inspired by U.K.โs Ten-Minute Rule.
4. Extend Working Hours: Parliament may sit longer to accommodate both government and private business.
5. Digital Access & Tracking: Introduce online dashboards to track PMBsโ progress and promote transparency.
Conclusion:
Private Memberโs Bills are a vital democratic instrument for MPs to reflect public aspirations and challenge dominant narratives. Their erosion reflects a centralised legislative process, undermining deliberative democracy. Reviving and reforming the PMB mechanism is essential to restore participatory law-making in Parliament.

Joseph Shine v. Union of India 2023 Clarification order
๐ค{substantive clarification allowed? read judgment}
Army Act, 1950; Sections 45 and 63 - Miscellanious application filed by UoI seeking clarification of Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2019) 3 SCC 39) - This Court was neither called upon nor has it ventured to pronounce on the effect of Sections 45 and 63 of the 1950 Act as also the corresponding provisions in other Acts or any other provisions of the Acts. We only make this position clear. Adultery - Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2019) 3 SCC 39 - It is not as if this Court approved of adultery. This Court has found that adultery may be a moral wrong (per Honโble Ms. Justice Indu Malhotra). This Court has also held that it will continue to be a ground for securing dissolution of marriage. It has also been described as a civil wrong. (Para 23)

"Rape is not merely a physical assault - it is often destructive of the whole personality of the victim. A murderer destroys the physical body of his victim, a rapist degrades the very soul of the helpless female.

The detailed discussion on Article 13 "law" and "laws in force" - Ghost of Narasu Appa Mali
Conclusion: The decision in Narasu, in immunizing uncodified personal law and construing the same as distinct from custom, deserves detailed reconsideration in an
appropriate case in the future.

The proof lies on him who affirms and not on him who denies, since by the nature of things, he who denies a fact cannot produce any proof, meaning thereby, one cannot produce negative evidence.
