The Court observed that the plea was politically motivated, and targeted the Government over abrogation of Article 370.

He has targeted the government by alleging cases of army brutality being on the rise in the Union Territory, applicability of draconian laws, hike of the unknown gunman culture in the Union Territory ever since the abrogation of Article 370, making of the Kashmir region into a complete war zone and of significant youth unrest in the Union Territory after the scrapping of Article 370.“
Observing that court directs the Bench to imposed token cost of Rs. 10,000 on the Petitioner.
“All the above facts in the manner as stated are highly critical of Government as if the petitioner is not before a legal forum but on a political platform. The petitioner by making the above averments tends to scandalize the court so as to score a political mileage,” said the Court.
