Ladakh to get J&K High Court bench: Amit Shah says move will improve access to justice in remote areas
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government is fully committed to the all-round development of Ladakh and to ensuring constitutional safeguards.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Thursday, 20 August that Ladakh will soon have a bench of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court. The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided to establish the bench in Ladakh to improve access to justice for residents in remote areas. This will be the third bench of the High Court, following the existing ones in Srinagar and Jammu.
The government is committed to the development of Ladakh and ensuring constitutional safeguards for its citizens. The new bench aims to bring High Court services closer to litigants, as geographical distances can make access to judicial institutions challenging in Ladakh.
