Chief Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court Mr. Justice K. S.

He said, "every state has its own identity, socially, economically and historically, so also problems of it self. Problems and issues increasingly faced by the judicial officers in this part of the country may be novel to their counterparts functioning in other parts of the country. This state has faced periodical turbulences over the years, but the presence of our judicial system is felt in every nook and corner of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Judicial Officers are working in adverse and trying conditions both manmade and due to vicissitude of nature. Nature of cases dealt with by the judicial officers of this part of the country is peculiar to themselves but they are unflinchingly protecting and preserving the properties, lives and other valuable rights of the citizens.
He said, however, Justice has to be meted out to the people who are living in abject poverty in far-flung areas, who are vulnerable to pressures. Judiciary in the state has always been a beacon of faith and hope for the people of the state while it is and was undergoing testing and turbulent times. Neither the political uncertainty or its emotional upheaval nor acts of militancy has blurred the judicial system in granting relief to the victims of repression and in protecting human rights".
