J&K Speaker warns of action over publicising questions, resolutions, Bills etc. ahead of Assembly session

Jammu and Kashmir Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather on Monday warned of action against Opposition parties that make notices of questions, adjournment motions, resolutions etc., public ahead of the Assembly proceedings. It also made public several Private Member Bills, including one on the regularisation of State land held by locals for around 20 years. However, Speaker Rather, referring to rules and conventions of the House, said, “Rule 368 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, provides that notice shall not be given publicity by any member or other person until it has been admitted by the Speaker and circulated to members. Shakdher, who are renowned authorities on the subject, it is “improper to give for any reason premature publicity in the Press to notices of questions, adjournment motions, resolutions, answers to questions and other similar matters connected with the business of the House”.
