Supreme Court refuses to entertain plea against LG's power to nominate 5 MLAs to J&K Assembly

The Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea challenging the Lieutenant Governor’s power to nominate 5 MLAs to the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. The court directed the petitioner to first approach the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The plea argued that the Lieutenant Governor’s power to nominate MLAs was unconstitutional and violated the principles of democracy. The Supreme Court’s decision emphasizes the importance of following the judicial hierarchy and exhausting all available remedies before approaching the apex court. This ruling ensures that the High Court has the opportunity to address the constitutional issues raised in the plea.
