| Supreme Court to hear contempt petition against JK govt | | | New Delhi|Sep 21
A Bench presided over by the Chief Justice of India directed the registry to list contempt petition against Jammu and Kashmir government filed by J&K National Panthers Party for allegedly denying relief to the Jammu Dogra Migrants in violation of the orders of the Supreme Court to provide relief to the Jammu Migrants numbering about 2200 families from Poonch, Rajouri, Udhampur, Doda and other areas of Jammu province.
The Division Bench comprising of JJ K.G. Balakrishnan, Chief Justice of India, Justice D.K.Jain and Justice R.V. Ravindran this morning issued this direction after hearing Prof. Bhim Singh.
The counsel submitted that the government of J&K did not intend to implement Supreme Court order which is passed on July 12, 2006 . The Hon'ble Supreme Court issued notice to the Relief Commissioner of Jammu and Kashmir on August 20, 2007 in contempt petition but the State government did not care for the orders, instead, the government had turned Talwara Camp into a police chhawni, banning entry of Panthers Party leaders and legislators into the Talwara Camp, he added.
He said that the migrants have been suffering and starving for want of food and several injured migrants are denied medical aid and treatment only to teach them a lesson for demanding Supreme Court judgment's implementation. He also said that the authorities have stopped supply of food which was sent by Vijay Chopra, Editor-in-Chief of Hind Samachar Group of Publications from Punjab.
