JAMMU: Apprehending that the newly introduced domicile law in Jammu & Kashmir will not provide the people of Ladakh job protection, Kargil advocate Najumul Huda and his aide have filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court.
Ladakh was part of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir but now is a separate Union Territory, as is J&K.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday, Huda and his aide, Nishant Khatri from Haryana, claim there is resentment over the recent J&K domicile law, despite some amendments by the Union home ministry, and thus they had filed a petition on June 15 (diary number 12903/2020) which was registered on June 23 (WP (C) No 598/2020) after all defects in the petition had been corrected.
“Further, an application was also moved on 24/06/2020 for mentioning of the petition but the petition is still awaiting verification from Section-1B of the SC’s registry,” the statement added.
