The Union Cabinet has approved the establishment of a Bench of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court in Ladakh. Union Home Minister Amit Shah disclosed this in a social media post. Mr Shah said that the decision will significantly enhance access to justice for citizens living in remote areas of Ladakh by reducing the time required to avail themselves of the legal services they are entitled to. He added that the government is fully committed to the all-round development of Ladakh and to ensuring constitutional safeguards.
