A bench of Justice Vinod Chatterji Koul held, “An error that is not self-evident and has to be detected by a process of reasoning can hardly be said to be an error apparent on the face of record justifying the court to exercise its power of review under Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC”Approaching HC For Bail U/S 483 BNSS Without Approaching Trial Court Unnecessarily Burdens HC: J&K High CourtCase Title: Ajeet Kumar Vs UT Of J&KCitation: 2024 LiveLaw (JKL) 320Criticising the growing trend of directly approaching the High Court for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court observed that bypassing the trial courts in such matters not only burdens the High Court but also disregards the legal protocol, where such petitions should typically be first addressed by the courts below."Suffering From Schizophrenia, No Purpose In Continued Custody": J&K High Court Grants Bail To Woman Accused Of Killing 3-Month Old SonCase Title: Shenaz Begum th. Abdul Mazeed Vs UT Of J&KCitation: 2024 LiveLaw (JKL) 321The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court granted bail to one Shenaz Begum, accused of murdering her three-month-old son in 2021 observing that the applicant's schizophrenia diagnosis and the absence of a plausible motive rendered her continued judicial custody purposeless.Kashmiri Pandit Woman Continues To Retain Migrant Status Despite Marriage To Non-Migrant: J&K High CourtCase Title: UT Of J&K Vs Seema Koul & AnrCitation: 2024 LiveLaw (JKL) 322The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has ruled that a Kashmiri Pandit woman does not lose her "migrant status" upon marrying a non-migrant. A bench of Justices Atul Sreedharan and Mohammad Yousuf Wani clarified, “.. to hold that the woman would lose her status as a migrant only because she, out of the natural urge of forming a family, had to marry a non-migrant on account of existing circumstances, would be grossly discriminatory and militates against the very concept of justice. This discrimination becomes even more brazen where a male migrant continues to remain a migrant notwithstanding the fact that he has married a non-migrant”Unregistered Agreement Insufficient To Transfer Leasehold Rights, Housing Board's Procedure Paramount: J&K High CourtCase Title: Sanjeev Gupta vs UT Of J&KCitation: 2024 LiveLaw (JKL) 323The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court reaffirmed that an unregistered agreement to sell is inadequate to transfer leasehold rights, emphasizing the exclusive procedure of the J&K Housing Board for such transfers.
