Supreme Court Seeks Report From J&K High Court Panel On Plea Alleging Detention Of Children huffingtonpost.in

The Supreme Court on Friday said it has received a report from the Chief Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court and it does not support claims that people in Kashmir Valley are unable to access the court there. Senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, representing child right activists Enakshi Ganguly and Shanta Sinha who have filed a plea alleging detention of children in Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370, had on September 16 told the apex court that people in the Valley are “not able to approach” the high court there.“We have received a report from the chief justice (of Jammu and Kashmir High Court) which does not support your statement,” a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi told Ahmadi at the outset on Friday.

The bench, also comprising justices SA Bobde and SA Nazeer said it has received some “conflicting reports” on the issue but it does not intend to comment on them at this stage.
