Srinagar: A majority of over 600 habeas corpus petitions filed before the J&K High Court at Srinagar since August 6 last year remain pending at the court, the J&K High Court Bar Association (HCBA) said.

In a representation submitted by HCBA to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India, the lawyer’s body has mentioned that till date not even “1 per cent of the Habeas Corpus petitions have been decided by the J&K High Court,” expressing their dismay over the issue.

The representation was submitted by the bar association, which has as many as 1,500 members, on June 25 apprising the apex court of various problems they are facing in the union territory since the abrogation of Article 370 last year on August 5.

“The first problem which the lawyers who conduct these cases is that no direction has been given by Hon’ble The Chief Justice, asking the Registrar Judicial to list these HCPs before every Judge irrespective of their daily roster, so that the petitions are decided within 14 days as per the Rules formulated by the Hon’ble High Court with regard to the HCPs,” the bar association wrote in the letter.
