Justice Pankaj Mithal, Chief Justice of the common High Court of Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, on Sunday inaugurated a Vidhik Seva Kendra at the district court complex here, fulfilling the long pending demand of the local residents, an official said.

The centre has been established to facilitate litigants of Kargil to file petitions through online mode in the high court at the district court in Kargil, the official said.

He said there had been a long pending demand of the local population to create infrastructure for filing of cases pertaining to the local areas of Lehand Kargil in Ladakh.

The service will also prove to be an additional and effective benefit made available to the public at large in strengthening the object of access to justice and timely dispensation of justice, the official added. — PTI
