New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday welcomed the Union Cabinet’s decision to establish a bench of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir in Ladakh, saying it would improve access to justice for people living in remote areas of the Union Territory.
In a post on X, Shah said the decision was taken by the Cabinet under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said the High Court bench would significantly enhance access to legal services by reducing the time and effort required for residents of Ladakh to pursue judicial remedies.
“The Union Cabinet, under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, has decided to set up a Bench of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir in Ladakh. This will significantly enhance access to justice for citizens living in remote areas of Ladakh,” Shah said.
He added that the government remains committed to the all-round development of Ladakh and to ensuring constitutional safeguards for its people.
