President Murmu Promulgates Regulation Allowing High Court Benches in Ladakh
President Droupadi Murmu has promulgated a regulation under Article 240 enabling the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to hold sittings in the Union Territory of Ladakh. The Chief Justice, with the Lieutenant Governor's approval, will decide the bench's location in Ladakh, while retaining the option to hear cases in Srinagar or Jammu. The regulation, issued under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, will come into effect on a date notified separately, without altering the High Court's principal seat.
