The Jammu and Kashmir High Court recognized that the Bar Council of India guidelines do not permit female advocates to appear in court with their faces covered. This was highlighted after a claimant, Advocate Syed Ainain Qadri, refused to remove her covering. Ultimately, the Court dismissed the related case on December 13.
On Friday(2nd August),the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh summoned the Deputy Commissioner of Ganderbal, Shyambir (IAS), after a trial court judge alleged that Shyambir was attempting to frame him in retaliation for an adverse order. The notice, issued by Justices Sanjeev Kumar and Atul Sreedharan, follows a criminal contempt reference from Chief Judicial Magistrate Fayaz Ahmad Qureshi.
