Orders
Case Summary: W.P.(C) No. 578/2001 Outcome: The Supreme Court disposed of all writ petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Jammu and Kashmir Grant of Permit for Resettlement Act, 1982. The Court found the challenge moot because the impugned Act was repealed by the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 (effective August 9, 2019), which listed it in Table-3 of the Fifth Schedule for repeal in the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Key Findings: The Court noted that the 1982 Act never came into force—no Competent Authority was ever appointed, no applications were invited or received, and a stay imposed by the Court in 2002 further prevented implementation. Since the Act had no practical effect and was subsequently repealed, the constitutional challenge no longer survived.
