A PIL (public Interest Litigation) was filed by Mohd Anwar Choudhary a non official member of Advisory Board for the development of Gujjars and Bakerwals seeking direction to the State of J&K to constitute scrutiny committee to scrutinize social status certificates issued in the state of J&K from 1991 onwards particularly scheduled tribes certificates and also seeking direction to constitute District Level Scrutiny Committee as per the directions/ guidelines framed by the Apex Court.
