Speaking on a bill to hike the salaries of judges, Banerjee reminded the Supreme Court that legislating laws was the right of Parliament. "Across party lines, let us all come together and file a petition before the Supreme Court to tell that it was not their duty to legislate," he said. Law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad was seen taking notes with a smile on his face. He said that on a pilot basis, the judiciary has allowed live telecast of two district courts. The House eventually passed through a unanimous voice vote the bill to hike the salaries of Supreme and high court judges.
