Centre to be responsible for law and order in Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, land to be under elected govt

Firstpost  

From 31 October, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court will be the common High Court of the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh. New Delhi: The Centre will be in direct control of law and order and police in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir through the Lieutenant Governor, while land will be a subject under the elected government there, officials said on Sunday. Land — the rights in or over it— will be with the elected government of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, unlike in Delhi where the L-G exercises control through the Delhi Development Authority, a central government entity. According to the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, the Legislative Assembly of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir may make laws for the whole or any part of the union territory with respect to any of the matters enumerated in the state list of the Constitution except the subjects mentioned in entries one and two — public order and police respectively — or the Concurrent List in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. Police, and law and order in Delhi and Puducherry, both of which have their own Legislative Assembly, is directly controlled by the Centre through the L-G. Matters related to land, that is to say rights in or over it, land tenures, transfer and alienation of agricultural land, land improvement and agricultural loans will be under the domain of the elected government of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
