J&K House dissolution Supreme Court to hear plea today

THE SUPREME Court is likely to hear on Monday a petition challenging J&K Governor Satyapal Malik’s decision to dissolve the Assembly. The petition terms the Governor’s decision as “arbitrary and illegal” and wants the court to quash it with a direction to the Governor “to hold the floor test”. The petition filed by BJP leader Dr Gangan Bhagat — who represented R S Pura constituency of Jammu in the recently dissolved assembly — has embarrassed the ruling party, which has supported the Governor’s decision. BJP’s state president Ravinder Raina has termed Bhagat’s petition “his individual decision”. The petition has also generated fresh interest within the two opposing political camps in J&K, which had staked claim to form the government hours before the assembly was dissolved. The case — listed for Monday — has also generated a last-minute flurry of activities in the state’s legal team to mount a strong defence to the Governor’s decision. Sources said senior officials of the administration have come down to Delhi to coordinate the defence with senior legal officers of the Union government. In his petition, Bhagat has termed Governor Malik’s decision “wholly arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional”, “brazenly opposed to the spirit of constitution” and his intention “malafide and biased”.
