Chandigarh, January 14
The High Court has granted the PU and other respondents “last and final opportunity” in the interest of justice to file a reply in the matter subject to a payment of Rs 50,000 costs. “It shall be equally borne by the respondents and will be a pre-condition,” Justice Fateh Deep Singh added .
The Bench was hearing a petition filed by Prof Keshav Malhotra and other petitioners through senior counsel RS Cheema and R Kartikiya. The Bench observed a request for adjournment was again made by the respondents to enable them to file a reply. The petition was filed alleging that the proposed committee slated to replace the Senate would comprise representatives of the ruling political party. The petitioners, seven former senators, were demanding Senate elections. — TNS
