Judicial Action Looms: Challenging Kashmir's Police Verification

The Peoples' Conference has announced it will pursue judicial intervention against Jammu and Kashmir's police verification process. Party chief Sajad Lone plans to move the Supreme Court, arguing the system imparts collective punishment, violating natural justice by denying families certification based on a relative's record.

The Peoples' Conference is set to challenge Jammu and Kashmir's police verification process in court, calling it a violation of natural justice. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling against unjust collective punishment through property destruction.

Party leader Sajad Lone criticized the current system, which denies families certificates based on a relative's record, describing it as a form of collective punishment. He plans to approach the Supreme Court to argue its unfairness.

Lone argues the verification process in Jammu and Kashmir mirrors historical injustice, stressing the need for reform. The party is committed to seeking judicial means to ensure justice for affected families.
