Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has announced that he will be visiting Srinagar to meet the J-K High Court Chief Justice to find out how difficult it is for people to access the courts, which has been one of the petitions put before the SC today. "It is serious if people cannot approach the HC," the CJI said and added that he would visit Srinagar himself to assess the veracity of the plea.

The Supreme Court on Monday also allowed Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad to visit four districts in Kashmir. He had been denied permission earlier. Azad will be allowed to visit Baramulla, Anantnag, Sringar, and Jammu. He will escorted by security agencies and has been forbidden to hold any political rally. The court has asked him to file a report after his visit.
