HIGH COURT OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT JAMMU SWP No. 9900006/2013 Seema Devi …..Appellant(s)/Petitioner(s) Through: None Vs State of J&K and others .…. Respondent(s) Through: Ms. Chetna Manhas, Advocate vice Mr. Raman Sharma, AAG Coram: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE WASIM SADIQ NARGAL, JUDGE ORDER 18.08.2026 1. The instant petition, with the efflux of time and also in the light of the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the recent judgment passed in case titled “Union Territory of J&K and Ors. Vs. Saba Wani” decided on 30.04.2026, has been rendered infructuous. The instant petition has come up before this Court after a period of thirteen years, and during this intervening period, and there has been no effort on the part of the petitioner to get the instant petition listed. 2. Today also, when the matter was taken up, there was no representation on behalf of the petitioner. Thus, an inference can be drawn that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the instant petition and even otherwise also the petition has been rendered infructuous. 3. Accordingly, the instant petition is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. 4. Interim direction, if any, shall stand vacated. (Wasim Sadiq Nargal) Judge Jammu 18.08.2026 Nikhil Sr. No. 35
