Top court allowed CPI-M leader Mohd Yusuf Tarigami to go back to his home state J&K
The Supreme Court this morning asked the Centre to restore normal life in Jammu and Kashmir as soon as possible. “Every move should be made keeping in mind national interest,” said the top court. The bench, which included Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, justices SA Bobde and SA Nazeer, said as the shutdown was in the Kashmir Valley, it could be dealt with by the Jammu and Kasmir High Court.
The court also sought a response from the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir government on a plea seeking to produce before the top court former chief minister Farooq Abdullah, who is under detention since last month when the Centre scrapped special status from the state and divided it into two union territories. The top court also allowed CPI(M) leader Mohd Yousuf Tarigami to go back to his home state Jammu and Kashmir.
