NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today asked its Registry to consider listing a pending plea filed by Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) leader Bhim Singh seeking imposition of Governor’s rule in the troubled state, for early hearing.
“The Supreme Court Registry may give an early date of hearing,” a bench comprising Justices A R Dave and L Nageswara Rao said when senior advocate and JKNPP leader mentioned the matter seeking its hearing.
“The petition has now been listed for hearing in December. Whole of Kashmir is on fire. I am seeking early hearing,” Singh said.
The apex court, on August 26, had said that Singh may visit Srinagar to assess the “ground reality” there.
The court had said that Singh cannot just say that Governor’s rule under section 92 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir was the only panacea for everything and should file a reply to the Centre’s affidavit on the ground situation in the State. (AGENCIES)
