RAHUL BHARTI
Shabir Hussain Bhat – Appellant
Versus
UT of J&K – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
RAHUL BHARTI, J.
1. This writ petition, co-incidentally, presents a situation which this court cannot afford to let go unattended except at the cost of extending the continuing failure of administration of justice taking place by the stand-still approach of the Jammu and Kashmir Special Tribunal viz-a-viz the pending revision petitions under the Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976 in the wake of coming into operation of the amendment with respect to Section 21(2) of the Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976 w.e.f. 26/10/2020 whereby the provision providing the remedy of revision which used to be cognizable by the Jammu and Kashmir Special Tribunal has been deleted to be no more a remedy available under the Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976.
2. Indulgence of this court, on suo moto notice, is warranted to put into place corrective command for the consumption of and compliance by the Jammu and Kashmir Special Tribunal which otherwise has put itself on mode of abdication of adjudication of the pending revision petitions filed under the Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976 leaving the litigants in a lurch.
3. In fact, this court has come to be taken by repulsion on finding the writ petitioners to challenge through
General Finance Co. & Anr. v. Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax
