casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Prof. Bhim Singh filed a public interest petition challenging the curfew imposed in Jammu City that stranded Amarnath Shrine pilgrims. The Supreme Court (Justices Altamas Kabir and G.S. Singhvi) disposed of the petition on July 4, 2008, rejecting most prayers as administrative matters but granting relief on medical and security grounds. The Court directed respondents to provide adequate security for pilgrims to Amarnath Shrine and Vaishno Devi, ensure medical facilities (doctors, ambulances, medicines), and enable patients to access hospitals even during curfew. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
