The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea by a former officer of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) to claim Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan territories.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi rejected outright the plea by R.K. Yadav to carve out 24 Assembly constituencies from Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan areas and conduct elections there.
“This PIL is ex-facie untenable. You come to the judiciary with such a prayer? There cannot be any judicial interference here. We cannot pass such orders,” the CJI said.
The court imposed a fine of ₹20,000 on the petitioner.
