Ladakh High Court Bench Begins Regular Hearings at 11,500 Feet in Leh
The newly established Ladakh Bench of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh began regular hearings at over 11,500 feet in Leh, marking a judicial milestone. Chief Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati participated virtually, while Justice Sanjay Parihar was physically present. The division bench heard five cases, followed by 60 single-bench matters. This hybrid arrangement aims to improve access to justice for litigants in remote Ladakh, reducing the need to travel to Jammu or Srinagar and strengthening constitutional reach in the region.
