| J&K Assembly has technically ceased to exist: Harsh | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 11: Having failed to meet for transacting the legislative business during the last six months in terms of the mandate of sec 53 (1) of state constitution, the legislative Assembly had technically ceased to exist in the state of J&K, said Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister. He said that sec 53 (1) of state constitution defining the powers of Governor to summon the sessions of legislature and dissolution of Assembly categorically provided that gap between two sessions can't exceed six months in any case. He said that relevant constitutional provision stated in very unambiguous terms that "six months shall not intervene between its last sitting in one session and the date appointed for its first sitting in the next session". The existing Assembly in J&K having failed to hold session during the last six months, the provisions of sec 53 (1) automatically get attracted thus leading to dissolution of Assembly by efflux of time. Elaborating further, he said that last sitting of Budget session having been held on 12th Feb 2018, the next session of the legislature ought to have been convened by 11th August 2018 which has not been done thereby attracting the provisions of the said clause of the state constitution. He was addressing a press conference in Jammu today. Refuting the argument advanced by certain quarters that Assembly had met on 10th May to hold the election of speaker, Harsh Dev Singh pointed out that the said meeting does not satisfy the requirement of sec 53 (1) of the constitution. |
