TOP COURT STAYS DISQUALIFICATION OF 6 PARLIAMENT SECRETARIES IN HP
Hindustan Times
|November 23, 2024
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed an order of the Himachal Pradesh high court directing initiation of disqualification proceedings against six legislators in the state assembly who were elected as parliamentary secretaries even as the court directed the state to not make any further appointments to these posts.
-
The order was passed by a bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna on an appeal filed by the state government against the November 12 decision passed by the high court. The order under challenge had struck down a 2006 law under which these appointments were carried out and directed consequential action of disqualification to follow against 6 Congress MLAs appointed to these posts in January last year.
