HC for JK now be called HC of JK and Ladakh ANI 17 Jul 2021, 11:37 GMT+10 New Delhi [India], July 17 (ANI): A notification has been issued by the Ministry of Law and Justice informing that the 'long-winding and cumbersome' nomenclature 'Common High Court of UT of Jammu and Kashmir and UT of Ladakh' have been changed to 'High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh'. President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday has signed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Removal of Difficulties) Order, 2021, to effect the change. "Present nomenclature is found to be rather long-winding and cumbersome. The said nomenclature may be substituted as High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, which besides being convenient would also be in consonance with the name pattern followed in other common HCs," the notification read.
