During last year’s session, the bill was passed despite the Opposition being insistent on referring the bill to the select committee.
The ruling coalition had defeated the demand of the Congress by 21-15 when the bill was put for the division of votes.
The Opposition MLAs had walked out of the House when Speaker Pramod Sawant moved the bill for passage.
The House had witnessed heated arguments during the discussions on the bill.
Opposition leader Chandrakant Kavlekar demanded that the bill be referred to the select committee. However, then Town and Country Planning Minister Vijai Sardesai had pointed out that the Opposition has not moved any amendment to the bill. Hence it should be passed.
