They said the resolutions on matters of the Home department have also been disallowed because they are outside the purview of the UT Assembly.“The Home department falls outside the domain of the J&K Assembly under section 32 of J&K Reorganisation Act,” they said, adding that resolutions relating to detainees have also been disallowed because it is the domain of Home department.

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.

“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)
