Srinagar, Apr 5 (KNS): The Jammu and Kashmir Government has termed a petition regarding reservations as “frivolous” and sought its outright dismissal in an affidavit filed before the J&K High Court in the case of Zahoor Ahmed Bhat and Others vs UT of J&K.

Interestingly, the affidavit makes no mention of the sub-committee reportedly formed by the government to look into reservation matters. This omission has raised questions about the seriousness with which the administration is treating its own initiatives.

Commenting on the development, senior political leader Sajad Lone said, “Nowhere has the government mentioned the formation of a sub-committee on reservations. This is a legal mystery. Seems the government is not taking its own committee serious enough to merit a mention in its legal affidavit.” (KNS)
