If required, will go to J&K HC : CJI Ranjan Gogoi

(Reporters Today, Bhubaneswar): Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi on Monday said that he will go to Jammu & Kashmir High Court and speak to the chief justice after allegations that people aren’t being able to access the court.

“Access to the High court is seriously affected, we seek reply from the chief justice of the high court in the matter. If required, I will go to the High Court and speak to the Chief Justice. If people can’t approach the HC we have to do something,” CJI Ranjan Gogoi said.

Supreme Court CJI said this, while hearing the pleas against abrogation of Article 370 provisions in Jammu & Kashmir. The apex court today allowed Senior Congress leader and former J&K Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad to visit Srinagar, Baramulla, Anantnag, Jammu and also prohibit him from making him speeches or hold any public rally there. The apex court asked the Centre to make all effort to restore normalcy in the Kashmir valley as soon as possible.
