Jammu & Kashmir HC Closes Case After Recovery of Indian Man’s Body from Pakistan

Recently, the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court was informed that the body of a 20-year-old Indian man who drowned in the Chenab River has been recovered from Pakistan and returned to his parents.

Following this development, a division bench of Acting Chief Justice Tashi Rabstan and Justice Puneet Gupta closed the suo motu case that had been registered earlier this month to ensure the retrieval of the body.

The Deputy Solicitor General of India (DSGI) reported to the Court that the body of the deceased, Harsh Nagotra, was handed over to his family, who cremated him on July 28 according to Hindu rites.

After recording this update, the Court closed the suo motu case. \”In view of the statement made by the learned counsel for the respondents, this PIL has been rendered infructuous and is accordingly disposed of,” the bench stated.

The parents of the deceased had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) petition, claiming that their son, Harsh Nagotra, drowned in the Chenab River under mysterious circumstances, and his body was subsequently found in Pakistan. They requested the Court to direct the return of the body from Pakistan for the conduct of last rites and other rituals.
