U’khand HC to hear pleas on imposition of President’s rule on April 6

Congress and BJP are anxiously awaiting the High Court’s decision on two major petitions related to imposition of President’s rule in the state which would be heard on April 6 even as they work to keep their flock together. A division bench of the high court would resume hearing on the Centre’s petition challenging the single bench’s order asking deposed Chief Minister Harish Rawat to go for a floor test in the state assembly and the one filed by Rawat against the order allowing disqualified rebel Congress MLAs to vote during the floor test.

The single bench’s order has been put in abeyance pending conclusion of hearing on these two petitions.
