Srinagar, Sep 22
The Jammu and Kashmir cabinet, led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, will meet here on Tuesday, and several important issues are expected to be decided. The cabinet is also likely to recommend that the Lieutenant Governor convene the Legislative Assembly’s autumn session.
As per the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, there must not be a gap longer than six months between the last meeting of one session and the first meeting of the next session of the Legislative Assembly.
“The Lieutenant Governor shall, from time to time, summon the Legislative Assembly to meet at such time and place as he thinks fit, but six months shall not intervene between its last sitting in one session and the date appointed for its first sitting in the next session,” says the Act.
Since the last sitting of the previous session was held on April 29, and according to the six-month rule, the next session must be held by October 28.
