J&K Vs Centre at Supreme Court - law for constituting the commission

New Delhi, Feb 10: Jammu and Kashmir government VS Centre at the Supreme Court on Friday over the setting up of the state minority commission saw Attorney general (AG) KK Venugopal informing a bench led by Chief Justice Dipak Misra that the state had disowned its assurance given at a meeting to frame the law for constituting the commission.

"The minutes show they gave an assurance and now they disown it. So, let the court decide it on merit," the AG said.

Objecting to Venugopal's submission, J&K government counsel advocate Shoeb Alam submitted that the state never "disowned", but reiterated its stand taken before the Supreme Court that it will bring a law "as and when necessary".

"Some parts of the meeting attributed to us are not true," said Alam, on whose request the bench adjourned the matter for four weeks.
