NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha on Thursday cleared the amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, with the government asserting that the spirit behind the law is not to allow companies to collapse. The Lower house also approved The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2019, which seeks to provide a death penalty for aggravated sexual assault on children. Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani said the legislation aims at making offences against children gender-neutral.
