Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019

This authoritative edition compiles the complete text of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which provided for the reorganisation of the state following the abrogation of Article 370. The Act created two separate union territories — Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh — and set out the legal framework for governance, legislative authority, administrative powers, and the division of assets and liabilities. The book explains in detail the allocation of government functions, transfer of employees, financial management, and transitional provisions essential to implementing the reorganisation. Annotated commentary provides insights into legislative intent, procedural aspects, and the practical implications of restructuring governance in the region. Case references, cross-references to constitutional provisions, and notes on administrative procedures help legal practitioners, policymakers, and scholars apply the law effectively. Designed as a single, compact resource, this edition bridges the gap between statutory text and practical application, making it indispensable for legal research, policy formulation, and administrative planning concerning Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
