Can’t be blamed for delay in taking up J&K curbs: SC

New Delhi, November 19

The Supreme Court on Tuesday made it clear that it cannot be blamed for any delay in adjudicating restrictions imposed in J&K, saying it was trying its best and seeking updates on the status of public transport there.

The observations by a Bench, headed by Justice NV Ramana, came after senior advocate Dushyant Dave, representing the Foundation for Media Professional, contended before it that 106 days had passed since petitions were filed and that “for all these days, people in the region have suffered”. The court said it understood the importance of the matter. “We have been seeking updates... doing our best,” it said. — IANS
