Ladakh Bench of Jammu and Kashmir High Court Inaugurated to Improve Access to Justice
The Ladakh Bench of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court was inaugurated on October 18 in Leh, marking a historic step to improve access to justice in the Union Territory of Ladakh. This new bench, situated at 3,500 meters altitude, will reduce the need for residents to travel to Srinagar or Jammu for court proceedings. Initially functioning two days a week with 75 cases, it will operate as a paperless court using digital tools like e-Filing and Document Management Systems, enhancing judicial efficiency in remote areas.
