Sukhu Govt moves SC, challenges High Court’s order on appointment of CPSs

The state government also gave these arguments in the court but at the time of judgment, those arguments were not given much attention.

Shimla: The Himachal government has challenged the High Court’s orders in the Chief Parliamentary Secretary (CPS) case in the Supreme Court (SC). Along with the Congress government, the Bharatiya Janata Party has also knocked on the door of the SC. The BJP has filed a caveat in this case. Now the Supreme Court will decide on the petition of the Congress government and the caveat admission of the BJP.

It is obvious that if the Supreme Court accepts Himachal’s petition, then the CPS dispute which was heard in the Himachal High Court for about one and a half years will now be heard in the SC. The High Court declared the appointment of CPS unconstitutional by canceling the Himachal Parliamentary Secretary (Appointment, Salary, Allowances, Powers, Privileges and Facilities) Act, 2006.

The High Court has ordered to withdraw their comforts with immediate effect. After the court’s orders, the state government has also withdrawn facilities like car, staff, office from them. Meanwhile, the government has reached the SC.

The state government has argued that the Himachal High Court has given the verdict based on the case of Bimalonshu Rai vs Assam whereas the CPS Act of Himachal and Assam was different. The state government also gave these arguments in the court but at the time of judgment, those arguments were not given much attention. The government has reached the Supreme Court on this ground.
