The state Assembly was also kept in suspended animation so that political parties
could explore the possibility of forming a new government.
The decision by Governor Satyapal Malik to dissolve the state assembly under the
relevant provisions in the state constitution was announced in an official
communique.
The state is now headed for another spell of central rule beyond December 18 when
the governor's rule comes to an end.
Earlier, former chief minister and PDP patron Mehbooba Mufti staked the claim to
form a government with the support of the Congress and the National Conference.
Shortly thereafter, People's Conference leader Sajad Lone also staked claim to form
the government with the help of the 25-member BJP.
In a letter to the Governor, Mehbooba said the PDP is the largest party in the
state assembly having a strength of 29 MLAs.
"You might have gathered from the media reports that the Congress and the National
Conference have also decided to extend support to our party to form a government in
the state. The National Conference has a strength of 15 MLAs and the Congress 12.
That takes our collective strength to 56.

The bank has sought repossession of the property at Cornwall Terrace, overlooking
Regent's Park in central London, over the non-payment of a 20.4-million pounds
mortgage loan.
The property was referred to in the UK High Court as a "high class home for Dr
Vijay Mallya and his family members and United Breweries Group corporate guests".
While a trial in the case has been set for May next year, the High Court on
Wednesday ruled on the UBS' application to strike out parts of the defence and
found substantially in favour of the bank.
"UBS is pleased with the decision. Given that proceedings are ongoing, it would be
inappropriate to comment further," UBS said in a statement.
In his judgment following a two-day hearing last month, Judge Chief Master Marsh
concluded that he can see no basis upon which the defendants should be given an
opportunity to amend their defence.
"They have had an ample opportunity to explain their case in answers to UBS'
request for information. The case they put forward is not curable by simple
amendments," he said.
"The language of the contractual terms in this case could not be more stark. The
loan was made on an uncommitted basis and repayable on demand," the judgment notes.
The judge also expressed his displeasure at the way Mallya's defence team had
conducted itself during the case, which meant avoidable delays for the court.
There was a breakdown in the relationship between Mallya's previous law firm, Blake
Morgan LLP, "including in relation to fees", which was one of the factors flagged
by the court.
"I accept that the change of solicitors put the defendants' legal team under
considerable pressure. However, I am not satisfied that the defendants (Mallya)
have shown a good reason for seeking an adjournment. It seems to me that the
defendants are largely the authors of their current misfortune," the judgment
reads.
The case relates to a mortgage taken out by Rose Capital Ventures, one of Mallya's
companies, with the 62-year-old businessman, his mother Lalitha and son Sidhartha,
listed as having the right of occupancy on the property.
While Mallya's team claims the bank had called in the loan ahead of an agreed
period, the bank has claimed that it is within its rights to call in the mortgage
for non-payment.
The application relating to the judgment this week was filed by the bank to strike
out claims that any rights to remain in the property by the defendants take
priority over the mortgage before a full trial in May 2019.
In separate legal proceedings, the businessman had also lost his appeal in the UK's
Court of Appeal against a High Court order in favour of 13 Indian banks to recover
funds amounting to nearly 1.145 billion pounds.
The High Court order, earlier this year, in favour of the State Bank of India (SBI)
led consortium had reinforced a worldwide freezing order against Mallya's assets.

The skirmish took place in the evening in a forest near Chitalnar and Dondipadar
villages under Pushpal police station limits, in which Military Platoon Commander
Jyothi Muriyami was killed, state's Deputy Inspector General (anti-naxal
operations) Sundarraj P told PTI.
"A team of state's District Reserve Guard (DRG) that was out on an anti-Naxal
operation, reached the forest of Chitalnar and Dondipadar, located around 500 km
away from the capital Raipur when it came under heavy fire from a group of ultras
that led to a gun-battle," he said.
After the exchange of fire ended, the body of the woman Naxal cadre was recovered
