| SC to centre: Submit report on employment, relief package to KPs | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 9: The Supreme Court, on October 8, asked the centre to file an action taken report on housing, employment and payment of cash compensation to Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to leave the valley.
A bench of chief justice S.H Kapadia and justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar gave this direction on a civil writ petition seeking a white paper on the plight of Kashmiri Pandits living in Delhi and in other parts of the country.
The petition filed by the All India Kashmiri Samaj and others in 2006 wanted the Kashmiri Pandits should be declared internally displaced persons as per the principles laid down by the United National General Assembly.
A team of lawyers representing AIKS including T.K. Ganju, Rajeev Talwar and B.L Wali.
T.K Ganju pleaded before the bench that the Kashmiri migrants were in no position to return to the valley as the J&K government had failed to take action against even a single person responsible for the killing of over 2000 persons and pleaded that the pending cases against them in the state should be transferred to some other states.
Taking into consideration the petitioner’s plea, the chief justice directed the Additional solicitor-General Indira Jaisingh to associate leaders of the Kashmiri migrants and file the action taken report in four weeks.
The chief justice asked the Additional solicitor General Indira Jaisingh to submit action taken report on Rs 1618 crore economic package announced by Prime Minister in 2008, to submit a detailed affidavit on the amount spent and to associate the leaders Kashmiri migrants.
ASG assured that the ATR would cover disbursement of compensation, housing scheme, upgrading of facilities at the migrant camps and a provision for jobs.
