JK’s Superior Court defends the final hearing to March 20 in the event that the power of LG to nominate the MLA – Theprint – Pifeed

Jammu, February 6 (PTI) The Superior Court of Jammu and Cashmira and Ladakh has scheduled the final hearing on March 20 for a pil that challenges the authority of Lieutenant Governor of J & K to nominate five members to the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of the Territory of the Territory of The union.

A division bank comprised of Judge Sanjeev Kumar and Judge Rajesh Sekhri ordered both parties to complete the allegations, including the answers and counter-repair, before March 20, when the final hearing is held.

During the process, the general lawyer Tushar Mehta appeared for the respondents, while the main lawyer of the Supreme Court, Dr. Abhishek Manu Singh, along with DK Khajuria, represented the petitioner Ravinder Sharma.

The court said the bank will be available throughout the day on March 20.

The president of the Tashi Rabstan court had constituted a special division bank to listen to the dispute of public interest with respect to the nomination of the five MLA.

On October 14, the Supreme Court refused to entertain the statement and ordered the petitioner to approach the Superior Court.

The petition challenges the provisions of the J& K reorganization law, which empowers the LG to nominate five MLA.

According to the petition, the LG must seek the help and advice of the Council of Ministers before making such nominations, otherwise, the provisions are considered ultra vires for the basic spirit and structure of the Constitution, argued by the petitioner Sharma.

In a related development, the retired government officer Ravinder Singh and Gurdev Singh, president of the action committee of Jammu Cashmira Sharnarthi, submitted a request for implementation as respondents of the party and permission to intervene in the PIL through the lawyer SS Ahmed.

The applicants, who are residents of Jammu and Kashmiro occupied by Pakistan (Pojk) and emigrated to this side during 1947, argued that due to the important public importance of the matter, they should be allowed to intervene and be heard.

The court recognized the public importance of the PIL and said that anyone with a participation in the matter could be heard. PTI AB VN VN
