Why Govt Accommodation Given To Individuals Under Security Cover? Jammu & Kashmir High Asks UT Administration
Live LawThe Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has directed the UT government to provide an explanation regarding the provision of official accommodation to individuals who are entitled to security cover. During the course of hearing Mr. S.S.Ahmed, counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner referred to the case of Prof. S. K. Bhalla Vs UT of J&K where it was held that security assessment and entitlement to Government accommodation are two different issues and cannot be intermingled. In view of the same he argued that the inference that can be drawn is that while because of certain threat perception security cover can be granted to a person, it is not necessary that the person has to be provided the Government accommodation also. In this regard, the Court asked why persons requiring security cover have been given official accommodation.
