Srinagar, Sep 15: The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly is scheduled to begin its autumn session on September 21, with legislators submitting around 650 questions, 16 to 17 Private Member Bills and nearly 50 resolutions, setting the stage for a busy legislative session.
The Assembly Secretariat has received around 650 questions from members. Each MLA has been permitted to submit four starred and four unstarred questions for the session, which is scheduled to continue until September 30.
Alongside the questions, legislators from both the treasury and opposition benches have submitted 16 to 17 Private Member Bills. The Secretariat has also received nearly 50 Private Member Resolutions.
Under the Assembly's procedure, only seven of the submitted resolutions will be selected through a draw of lots for introduction in the House, subject to scrutiny for admissibility under the Rules. The remaining resolutions will not be taken up during the session.
The question quota had earlier triggered a dispute after Peoples Conference legislator Sajad Gani Lone objected to the Secretariat allowing members to submit eight questions instead of the quota prescribed under Rule 45 for a non-Budget session.
Rule 45 provides for five starred and five unstarred questions for each member during a non-Budget session, while the Secretariat's bulletin for the upcoming session permitted four starred and four unstarred questions. Lone had urged Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather to review the decision.
The Assembly's official National e-Vidhan portal lists the September sitting as the sixth session of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly and carries the provisional calendar and notices for the autumn session.
The large number of questions and Private Member initiatives is expected to put considerable pressure on the House's limited time, particularly as Private Member Bills and resolutions have restricted opportunities for discussion.
The autumn session is expected to include government business as well as issues raised by individual legislators seeking discussion and responses from the administration.
