The J&K HC Chief Justice was also asked by the Apex Court to submit a report on whether it is accessible to the complainants or not following the abrogation of Article 370 and stateโ€™s bifurcation.

โ€œBe ready to face the consequences if the HCโ€™s report is contrary to the plea,โ€ the CJI warned the petitioners.

Child rights activist Enakshi Ganguly filed the plea alleging difficulty in accessing the High Court.
