India's highest HC at 3,500 metres altitude to begin functioning in Leh

Jammu and Kashmir High Court's Ladakh bench, India's highest HC at an altitude of 3,500 metres, will begin functioning on October 21 in Leh. "High Court has crossed passes to reach Ladakh, instead of asking people of Ladakh to cross the passes to reach it," CJI Surya Kant said. The bench will reportedly initially function on two days per week.
