Businesses booked in anti-child labour drive The administration has gone tough on the prevalence of child labour in business establishments in Srinagar. A team of Assistant Labour Commissioner Srinagar on directions of Deputy Commissioner Srinagar, Aijaz Asad conducted a surprise inspection of 34 businesses, especially in uptown Srinagar. During the inspection, officials found children working in six places and action against these was initiated as per the law. The businesses were warned against indulging in child labour as they could face severe action under the relevant provisions of the Child Labour (Regulation & Prohibition) Act if caught doing so.

HC cautions against consent decreesThe Jammu and Kashmir High Court has cautioned the subordinate courts against passing consent decrees in collusive suits in order to avoid the registration of sale deeds and evade the stamp duty for such deeds to get their rights determined. A bench of High Court Justice Sanjeev Kumar in a note of caution to the subordinate courts in Jammu and Kashmir said, “There is a growing tendency in the litigants to file collusive suits and obtain decrees for accomplishing sinister purposes like avoiding registration of sale deeds, paying stamp duty and many a time getting their rights determined in contravention of law.”
