NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today declined to interfere with the dissolution of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly by Governor Satyapal Malik in mid-November. “We are not inclined,” said the top court, responding to a petition filed by BJP leader Gangan Bhagat, challenging the Mr Malik’s decision to dissolve the Assembly.
Gangan Bhagat represented the RS Pura constituency of Jammu in the recently dissolved Assembly.
In his petition, the BJP leader called the Governor’s decision “arbitrary and illegal” and wanted the court to dismiss it and direct the Mr Malik to hold a floor test.
