The Triple Talaq Bill [Muslim Women(Protection of Rights on Marriage)Bill], Citizenship(Amendment) Bill
and the Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, all these three significant bills shall lapse as the
RajyaSabha was adjourned sine die on 13th February 2019. All these three bills were passed by the LokSabha
and were pending in RajyaSabha but since this was the last session of Parliament before the 16thLokSabha
would be dissolved before June 2019 these bills would automatically lapse.

If a bill has been passed in LokSabha but is pending before the RajyaSabha and during its pendency in
RajyaSabha the LokSabha gets dissolved, then the bill gets lapsed. On the contrary if a bill has been
introduced and passed in the RajyaSabha and is pending before LokSabha and if during that pendency
LokSabha gets dissolved, then the bill would not get lapsed, it would be considered as valid and and can be
passed in the LokSabha in the next session of Parliament when a New LokSabha is constituted as Rajya is a
permanent house and it never gets dissolved.. (According to Article 107 of the Indian Constitution).
