There are several complexities and angles to this problem which the court cannot decide judicially, says CJI

The Bench led by CJI T.S Thakur said that discussion among the parties will offer more chances to reach well rounded solution.

Jammu and Kashmir Panthers Party, represented by its leader and senior lawyer, Bhim Singh had filed a Writ Petition highlightened the sufferings of the people and seeking judicial intervention. Mr. Bhim Singh stated that the people of Kashmir still continue to live in the shadow of the gun.
