Subsequently bye-Elections were held in all these three constituencies i.e. 54-

respectively. His Excellency the Governor vide Notification No.

Smt. Bimla Luthra and Smt. Indu Pawar in terms of the powers conferred on

him under sub-section (1) of section 47 of the Constitution of Jammu &

Kashmir.

The publication contains the biographical sketches of all the members

of the 11th J&K Legislative Assembly alongwith their photographs. These have

been prepared on the basis of the information received from the members

themselves. The biographical sketches appearing in this publication are in the

ascending order of the numbers of the constituencies.

As per existing practice, we have included in this publication the list of

the Council of Ministers, District-wise list of members, party wise list of

members, list of female members, list of the members with more than one

term and separately a list of members elected for the first time. The

publication also includes various informative and statistical details on various

aspects of members such as data regarding age, education, legislative

followed by JKPDP with 21, Congress 18, BJP 11, JKNPP 3, CPIM, PDF and

the Parliamentary System. I further hope that the publication will serve the

purpose for which it is brought out.
