The anti-corruption Lokpal bill could be tabled in the Rajya Sabha in the current session of Parliament.
"I am told that the select committee could probably give its report on Lokpal bill by September 3. If it happens, we will table the bill", Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal told reporters in New Delhi.
He said a total of 118 bills of the government were in various stages and much would depend on the recommendations of standing committees and the time available for their introduction or tabling in either House of Parliament.
The Lokpal bill was passed in Lok Sabha during the winter session in 2011. It was referred to a Rajya Sabha select committee after several opposition members moved various amendments to the legislation.
