Jammu and Kashmir High Court Seeks Policy on Political Leaders Retaining Government Housing
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has requested the Union Territory administration to clarify the policy governing the retention of government accommodation by political leaders. This follows the decision allowing former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and BJP leader Ravinder Raina to retain their official residences until March 2027 or the next review. The court questioned the authority and rules under which a designated committee approved these allotments and has asked for an affidavit to explain the uniform policy. The matter is scheduled for further hearing in November 2026.
