SHIMLA: The appointment of six Chief Parliamentary Secretaries (CPS) made by the Congress government has been challenged in the High Court of Himachal Pradesh by the People for Responsible Governance that had already challenged the similar appointments made in 2016 by the Congress government.
The fresh petition said that in a similar matter arising out of the Assam Act, the appointment of the CPS had been quashed by the Supreme Court on the grounds that state lacked legislative competence for the enactment of Act authorizing such appointments.
