Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has taken a big decision. The court says that there will be no change in the migrant status of Kashmiri Pandit girls if they marry non-migrants. The court made this comment while upholding the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) in favor of the two women selected under the PM employment package.
In fact, Seema Kaul and Vishalani Kaul had approached the court in the year 2018 when the provisional selection for the post of Legal Assistant in the Disaster Management Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Department under the PM package for Kashmiri migrants was banned on the grounds that non-residents -Because of marrying expatriate people, they have lost their expatriate status.
The court had made this comment
A bench of judges Atul Sreedharan and Mohammed Yusuf Wani, in its seven-page order last month, had said that an important question that arises before the court is whether a woman who has been given migrant status because of the suffering suffered by her and her family, Given that she was forced to leave her home in the Kashmir Valley…, can she be discriminated against and can she lose the said status merely on the basis of the fact that she has married a non-migrant? Was married?
discrimination against women
The bench said that in such circumstances, to assume that the woman would lose her status as a migrant merely because her natural desire to settle down led her to marry a non-migrant due to prevailing circumstances, would be grossly discriminatory and would violate the concept of justice. Will be against.
The court, while dismissing the writ petition filed by the Union Territory against the May 16 order of CAT, said, this discrimination becomes even more manifest when a male migrant remains a migrant despite marrying a non-migrant. Such a situation has arisen only because of the patriarchy prevalent in mankind. In matters relating to employment within the State/Union Territory, such discrimination cannot be tolerated.
