"J&K High Court Report Doesn't Support Statement": Top Court To Activists

Claims the Jammu and Kashmir High Court is inaccessible are not supported by a report from the Chief Justice of that court, the Supreme Court said today. The observation comes after child rights activists who alleged illegal detention of children in Kashmir told the top court they were unable to approach the High Court to seek an inquiry into the matter. The Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi, had described the matter as "very, very serious" and said he would visit the court after getting a report.
"We have received (a report from the Chief Justice (of Jammu and Kashmir High Court). The report does not support your (Huzefi Ahmadi, the lawyer for the activists) claim," a Supreme Court bench headed by the Chief Justice and including Justices SA Bobde and SA Nazeer said.
