New Delhi:The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Jammu and Kashmir High Court to decide on 21 December the pleas seeking review of its verdict scrapping the Roshni Act which conferred proprietary rights to occupants of State land.
A bench headed by Justice N V Ramana considered the oral assurance of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who appeared for the Jammu and Kashmir administration, that no coercive action will be taken against those petitioners who have approached the top court in the matter as they are not land grabbers or unauthorised people .
