New nomenclature for IIOJK High Court

Srinagar, July 17, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian government has said that the “long-winding and cumbersome” nomenclature ‘Common High Court of UT of Jammu and Kashmir and UT of Ladakh’ has been changed to ‘High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh’.

A notification issued by the Indian Ministry of Law and Justice says that President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday signed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Removal of Difficulties) Order, 2021, to effect the change. “Present nomenclature is found to be rather long-winding and cumbersome. The said nomenclature may be substituted as High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, which besides being convenient would also be in consonance with the name pattern followed in other common High Courts,” the notification read.
