The protesting opposition and ruling members are seeking of High Court order pertaining to promotions in reserved category.
Responding to concerns from protesting members, Minister Ab Haq Khan told the house that section 6 of Reservation Act was set aside by High Court. “First it was single bench, then division and later the matter went to Supreme Court,” he said.
Haq further said that three writ petitions have been submitted in Supreme Court. “Let SC give its verdict, we will follow.”
