New Delhi, Oct 25 (UNI) The Delhi Legislative Assembly will host a meeting of the Committee of Presiding Officers, constituted by the Lok Sabha Speaker, to formulate a Uniform Model of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business for Legislative Bodies across the country.
According to Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gutpa, the important meeting will be held on October 27, under the chairmanship of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana.
The meeting will bring together Presiding Officers and representatives of the Legislative Assemblies of Uttar Pradesh, Nagaland, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Delhi.
The participating Speakers will include Satish Mahana (Uttar Pradesh), Rahul Narwekar (Maharashtra), Kuldeep Singh Pathania (Himachal Pradesh) and Gurupadagouda Sanganagouda Patil (Karnataka), along with other members of the Committee and officials representing the participating legislatures.
The panel will deliberate on a draft report containing recommendations for the proposed Uniform Model Rules.
The discussions are expected to focus on examining the recommendations, addressing issues requiring further consideration and building consensus on a common procedural framework for legislative bodies.
The draft report is expected to be taken up for consideration and adoption, subject to the outcome of the deliberations, while the meeting will also help determine the next steps towards finalising the proposed model rules and taking the recommendations forward through the appropriate institutional process.
The initiative aims to promote greater consistency in legislative procedures, facilitate the exchange of best practices among state legislatures and strengthen the effective functioning of democratic institutions, Gupta said.
The proposed framework is intended to support the orderly, transparent and efficient conduct of legislative business while respecting the institutional requirements of individual legislatures, Delhi Assembly Speaker added.
He informed that the meeting would provide an important platform for consultation and coordination among legislative institutions on procedural practices and the strengthening of democratic traditions.
The Committee members have been accorded the status of State guests, and arrangements are being made accordingly.
