HC permits PoK citizen to stay in Srinagar Srinagar, October 9 The state government had refused Mr Khan permission to reside in Kashmir after his Indian passport expired and he was conferred citizenship by PoK. A Division Bench of the High Court comprising Mr Justices V.K. Jhanji and Mr Syed Bashir-ud-Din admitted the appeal on October 7 and allowed Mr Khan to reside in Srinagar, reversing an earlier order. Mr Khan had filed a writ petition in the High Court stating that he was a citizen of Jammu and Kashmir under Section 6 of the state Constitution and had a right to reside here. The court ruled that, till further orders, the appellant shall be allowed to stay in Jammu and Kashmir. Mr Khan said in his petition that 1984 he had gone to Muzaffarabad, the capital of PoK, on an Indian passport to meet some family members. He said he had to prolong his stay in Muzaffarabad due to unforeseen circumstances and, as a result, his Indian passport expired. He, therefore, returned to Kashmir on a Pakistani passport with a valid visa. After the visa period was over he had sought extension of his stay here, apprehending deportation by the authorities. He was refused permission and he filed a plea in court, which came up for hearing before a single-Judge Bench. The judge had dismissed Mr Khan’s plea. Mr Khan had then approached the High Court against the order. —
