Anantnag Bar Association Elections Declared Null Over Procedural Violations
The Jammu and Kashmir administration declared the Anantnag District Bar Association elections held on October 27 null and void, citing violations of official orders and failure to meet mandatory requirements under the Societies Registration Act and Indian Trust Act. The district magistrate's order noted the elections occurred without permission or proper intimation and referenced a prior prohibition on the election process. Approximately 700 lawyers participated in voting for president and secretary. Some lawyers contested the illegality claim, stating the elections had proper permission and oversight.
