ADVOCATE WRITES TO SPEAKER & STATE GOVT URGING NOTIFICATION AS POST IS STATUTORY EQUIVALENT IN RANK & STATUS OF CABINET MINISTER<\/b><\/h5>\n
CHANDIGARH May 8 2022\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It has been two and a half years since the current 14th Legislative Assembly of Haryana got constituted post completion of Assembly General Elections and\u00a0 with effect from Oct 25, 2019 pursuant to issuance of statutory notification by Election Commission of India (ECI) under Section 73 of Representation of the People Act, 1951.<\/p>\n

The first Session of the current Assembly was however\u00a0 summoned via a Gazette Notification dated\u00a0 Oct 31, 2019 issued\u00a0 under Article 174(1) of Constitution of India\u00a0by Satyadeo Narain Arya, then\u00a0 Governor of Haryana\u00a0on and from\u00a0 Nov 4, 2019. The same day after Acting\/Pro-tem appointed Speaker, Dr. Raghuvir Singh Kadian administered the\u00a0 Oath to all newly elected MLAs, thereafter\u00a0Gian Chand Gupta, second time elected BJP MLA from Panchkula Assembly Constituency\u00a0 was unanimously elected as Speaker of the Assembly. The same day, Gupta as Speaker made a Statement in the House recognizing Bhupendra Singh Hooda, leader of 31 member Congress Legislature Party (CLP) as Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Assembly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However even after completion of half tenure of current 14th Haryana Assembly till date, neither the Haryana Vidhan Sabha Secretariat nor the Parliamentary Affairs Department of State Government has publicly issued\/ published any\u00a0 of Gazette Notification in this regard i.e. regarding duly notifying the name of BS Hooda as recognized LoP in Haryana Assembly by the Speaker.\u00a0Now if this has been an inadvertent omission or else due to negligence of concerned officials of Vidhan Sabha Sectt and\/or State Government is anybody’s guess ?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, an Advocate at Punjab and Haryana High Court, Hemant Kumar, recently wrote to Assembly Speaker and State Government urging immediate issuance of requisite Notification in this regard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He has written that when last month on April 25, 2022 he checked a Notification published in Punjab Government Gazette by State’s\u00a0Parliamentary Affairs Department pertaining to notifying the name of PS Bajwa as LoP in Punjab Vidhan Sabha under Section\u00a0 9 of Salary and Allowances of Leader of Opposition in Legislative Assembly Act, 1978, thereafter he tried to find the corresponding Notification with respect to Hooda as LoP in Haryana Vidhan Sabha however after\u00a0 thoroughly searching all\u00a0 Gazette Notifications issued by Haryana Legislative Assembly and Parliamentary Affairs Department coming directly under Chief Secretary, he was unable to find the same. Even such Notification has also not been uploaded on the official website of Haryana Vidhan Sabha and State Chief Secretary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nHemant recalls that earlier too, Hooda has remained LoP in Haryana Assembly firstly\u00a0during the tenure of OP Chautala Government during Aug, 2002 to May, 2004 when former CM Bhajan Lal was replaced by Hooda and secondly during fag end of Khattar-1 dispensation i.e. for a month in Sep-Oct, 2019 when then CLP leader Kiran Chowdhry was replaced by Hooda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Be that as it may,\u00a0 unlike neighbouring State of Punjab, the\u00a0 Legislative Assembly of Haryana\u00a0 has till date not enacted any sort of law regarding Salaries and Allowances of LoP but nevertheless Section 2(d) of Haryana Legislative Assembly\u00a0(Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members ) Act, 1975\u00a0 defines LoP\u00a0 as member of the Assembly who is for the time being recognized as such by the Speaker of the Assembly. Also Section 4 of ibid 1975 Act makes Special Provisions regarding LoP and his Salary, Allowances and other facilities\/perquisites etc. are same as that of a\u00a0 Cabinet Minister means LoP’s rank and status is\u00a0equivalent to it. Even\u00a0the income tax on LoP’s Salary and Allowances is paid by the State Government from the public exchequer as in case of Chief Minister and Ministers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Advocate also asserts that a year ago on March 24, 2021\u00a0 Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Haryana Legislative Assembly were amended wherein for the first time Leader of the Opposition has been defined in Rule 2 therein meaning Leader of a Legislature Party in the House having the largest number of members other than the party\/parties forming the Government and having the strength at least equal to the strength of the quorum of the House and recognized as such by the Speaker.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Further, Hemant has written that even if the Haryana Assembly Speaker after making announcement in the House on Nov 4, 2019 pertaining to recognizing Hooda as LoP in the Assembly and any letter or other form of communication has been issued by Speaker’s Office to Hooda in this regard, still\u00a0 a Gazette Notification on the subject ought to be essentially issued since although LoP post is not Constitutional per se but nevertheless\u00a0it is statutory in nature viz. under Section 2(d) of 1975 Act as mentioned hereinbefore.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even otherwise, Hemant asserts that whenever the Assembly Speaker makes any sort of Statement in the House\u00a0 be it in his administrative or legislative capacity regarding the constitution of any Select\/Standing Committee comprising members of the House to examine any pending Bill\/Legislation or takes any decision for some other purpose, then the same is also immediately and duly notified in the Official Gazette by Vidhan Sabha Secretariat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
