The committee, requiring more time to complete its report, is consulting various legal experts, including former chief justices and noted jurists, amid debates on the bills' constitutionality.

As discussions intensify around the simultaneous election bills, Attorney General R Venkatramani and Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal Chairman Justice D N Patel are expected to voice their opinions to a parliamentary committee. Sources indicate that the committee is consulting legal experts to ensure comprehensive scrutiny of the bills.

The Lok Sabha aims to extend the committee's tenure, as more time is needed beyond the initial deadline. Headed by BJP MP P P Chaudhary, the panel is engaging with experts on law and the Constitution before broadening the discussion to include other stakeholders.
