Srinagar, Nov 30 (UNI) J&K Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone said the party will knock the doors of the Supreme Court next week to challenge the “existing police verification system in Jammu and Kashmir.”
He said his party’s legal team, led by former law secretary Ashraf Mir and represented by Advocate Sajad Geelani, has finalised the draft petition to challenge the current police verification system.
In a statement, Lone expressed concerns over the existing police verification system, which he described as a form of “collective and community punishment that severely undermines individual rights.”
“It is our right that the police verification system be revamped and brought in line with the practices followed in other states of the country,” he stated.
Lone further assured that the petition, aimed at establishing a more equitable system of verification, will be filed in the coming week, ushering in much-needed reforms.
In the maiden Assembly session held earlier this month, several legislators had demanded a review of the police verification process. There have been allegations by scores of job aspirants over the last few years that the police issue adverse certificates because of a relative being either a militant or a separatist leader.
