The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the controversial 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill is expected to adopt its report on July 17, according to sources. The committee is likely to retain the Bill’s provision which proposes the automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and other Ministers from office if they are arrested in connection with a serious criminal offence and remain in judicial or police custody for 30 consecutive days.
