The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider a request to establish a constitution bench to address pleas challenging the validity of passing laws, such as the Aadhaar Act, as money bills, purportedly to circumvent the Rajya Sabha.

A bench composed of Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra was approached by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who also leads the Supreme Court Bar Association. Sibal urged that the pleadings are complete and the petitions need to be scheduled for a hearing.

"I will take the call when I form the constitution benches," the CJI said.
