JAMMU, July 24 -- The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has directed the Government to ensure that restoration of the historic Mubarak Mandi complex is completed without unnecessary delay and does not suffer for want of funds.
A Division Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Kumar and Justice Mohd Yousuf Wani passed the directions while disposing of a decade-old Public Interest Litigation filed by Chhatter Singh for preservation of the ancient Dogra Royal Palace at North Mubarak Mandi, Jammu.
The petitioner had sought release of sufficient funds and completion of the restoration work within a fixed timeframe so that the heritage complex could regain its original beauty and grandeur.
