Centre repeals law providing these facilities

Umer Maqbool

Srinagar, April 01 (KNO): In a major development, the Government of India has scrapped a legal provision providing rent-free accommodation and other facilities to former chief ministers of Jammu & Kashmir.

According to wire service—Kashmir News Observer(KNO) , Centre has repealed section 3-C of the State Legislature Members’ Pension Act, 1984 under which former CMs of J&K were entitled to different privileges and perks.

As per KNO, under the law, former CMs were entitled to rent-free furnished accommodation, expenditure to the limit of Rs 35,000 per annum for furnishing of the residential accommodation, free telephone calls up to the value of Rs 48,000 per annum, free electricity to the extent of Rs 1500 per month ,car, petrol, medical facilities, driver etc.

They were also entitled to one personnel assistant, one special assistant and two peons. “Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, a member who is entitled to pension under this Act and who has served as Chief Minister of the State, shall be entitled to car, petrol, medical facilities, driver, rent-free furnished accommodation, expenditure to the limit of Rs 35,000 per annum for furnishing of the residential accommodation, free telephone calls up to the value of Rs

48,000 per annum, free electricity to the extent of Rs 1500 per month etc,” reads section 3( C) of the law which was deleted by the Centre last night.

The law has been deleted through Jammu & Kashmir Reorganization( adaptation of state laws )Order-2020.

The move comes months after J&K Law Commission had recommended repeal of the legal provisions providing facilities to former CMs, saying these provisions “violate the constitutional principles of equality” and are “arbitrary and not in consonance with any scheme or law”—(KNO)
