Resolutions on Reservation, Article 370 disallowed in J&K Assembly 

Jammu: Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly Secretariat has disallowed resolutions brought on issues like Reservation Policy, Article 370, etc.

The resolutions on Article 370 have been disallowed under the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the J&K Legislative Assembly.

“As per Rule 187,when a resolution has been moved, no resolution or amendment raising substantially the same question shall be moved within one year from the date of the moving of the earlier resolution,” the Rules state.

As already reported, PC president Sajad Gani Lone had submitted a resolution seeking restoration of Article and Article 35A.

According to sources, the resolutions brought on Reservation and allied issues by legislators from the ruling party as well as the opposition have been disallowed because it is sub-judice in J&K High Court.

“As per sub-rule (5) of Rule 177 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in J&K Assembly, the resolution shall not relate to any matter which is under adjudication by a court of law having jurisdiction in any part of India,” sources said.

They, however, added that bill(s) brought on the issue wouldn’t be affected by this Rule.

“This Rule doesn’t apply to bills brought on reservation issues,” they said.

According to sources, the resolutions would now be subjected to ballot procedure for taking up them in the House on April 7 and 9.

“The resolutions admitted by the LA secretariat would now go through ballot procedure on March 25 for determining their precedence. Seven resolutions each would be taken up in the House on April 7 and 9,” they said. —(KNO)
