The Supreme Court this morning asked the Centre to restore normal life in Jammu and Kashmir as soon as possible. "Every move should be made keeping in mind national interest," said the top court. The bench, which included Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, justices SA Bobde and SA Nazeer, said as the shutdown was in the Kashmir Valley, it could be dealt with by the Jammu and Kasmir High Court.

The court also sought a response from the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir government on a plea seeking to produce before the top court former chief minister Farooq Abdullah, who is under detention since last month when the Centre scrapped special status from the state and divided it into two union territories. The top court also allowed CPI(M) leader Mohd Yusuf Tarigami to go back to his home state Jammu and Kashmir.

Ranjan Gogoi says he will go to Jammu and Kashmir, if required

Supreme Court seeks report from Jammu and Kashmir High Court chief justice on allegations that people are finding it difficult to approach the high court.

Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi says he will go to Jammu and Kashmir, if required, to check whether allegations by a child rights activist that they are having difficulties in accessing the Jammu and Kashmir High Court are true.

The top court was hearing a plea by activist Enakshi Ganguly that alleged children and teens between six and 18 years in Jammu and Kashmir have been going through hardships amid the partial restrictions, after the centre scrapped special status from the state.

When the Chief Justice pointed out that this was a matter that the High Court can also see, Ms Ganguly's lawyer said, "It is difficult to go to the High Court."
