Court to Establish Special Bench Following Forfeiture of 25 Books

A petition filed by former Air Vice Marshal Kapil Kak, Dr. Sumantra Bose, and former Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah has been submitted to the J&K High Court. The petition centers on a forfeiture order against 25 books, stemming from a dispute regarding intellectual property rights. The request is being made to establish a specialized bench to address the legal implications of this order and potentially modify or overturn the forfeiture. The petitioners argue the forfeiture is unwarranted and seeks clarification on the legal framework surrounding the books’ ownership. The court is expected to review the circumstances and potential remedies.
