The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has directed the petitioner to file a new affidavit regarding alleged religious encroachments in the region.
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has asked the filing party to submit a fresh affidavit that details the alleged religious encroachments reported in the valley. The court noted that the existing affidavit did not sufficiently address the specific claims raised by respondents.
Legal counsel for the petitioner was instructed to ensure that the new statement includes precise information about the locations, nature of the encroachments, and any supporting documentation. The High Court emphasized that accurate affidavits are essential for adjudicating disputes that involve sensitive communal issues.
The order comes amid heightened scrutiny of land use and property disputes that intersect with religious sentiments in Kashmir. Observers note that the court's directive aims to clarify factual matters before any further judicial or administrative action is taken.
