Congress welcomes centre's decision of separate CAT benches for J&K, Ladakh

Congress welcomed the centre's decision of setting up of separate Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) bench for Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
However, JK Pradesh Congress Committee said that BJP-led government was taking people for granted and then rectifying decisions only after hue and cry.
The party chief spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma said this should have been done after the J&K re-organization Act came into effect and at least much before the order for transfer of thousands of pending cases to the Chandigarh bench of CAT.
He further said there should be every effort to provide justice to the people at doorsteps, by having more circuit benches for far flung areas like Rajouri, Poonch and erstwhile Doda district and other such similar belts.
The Union government on 28th of May announced to set up a separate CAT Bench exclusively for the UTs of J&K and Ladakh. The 18th Bench of the CAT, named as ‘Jammu Bench’, would have jurisdiction over the UTs of J&K and Ladakh.
