Planning for a month-long ride in Jul-Aug this season, and a little apprehensive since coming across this unfortunate development.

Very much sir.

No one can stop you from driving your own vehicles in any part of J&K which is deemed fit for civilians.

Dear Friends,

Our advocate has been nominated as the Additional Advocate General by the state govt on January 6th 2016

He is very uncertain on his new role he was appointed before the Political turmoil began.

I will update you all next week on the future course of action.

Waseem.....

SILVERWOOD · 16th February 2016, 19:34

Dear Friends,

Our advocate will move a memo this week and we can expect a hearing next week.

PS:He has resigned from the post of Additional Advocate General.

Hi Waseem - Did your advocate manage to get clarity on whether rental cars were allowed to be driven all across J&K?

SILVERWOOD - the KA RTO thread is locked up. I appreciate your tenacity in following up with the Karnataka HC and getting the Motor Vehicle Taxation Amendments annulled

. Do share us the actual verdict/order when you get it.

Dear Friends,

The hearing lasted for barely 1 minute.The government pleader has asked for more time and the judge has asked them to file their reply/objections by 28th March 2016.

I will come back to you with more updates after 28th March.We will also be served a copy of their reply/objections and we will file a rejoinder accordingly.

Waseem Memon.

Excellent work Waseem. Result is also seen in the recent Karnataka High Court case too. Thanks to you, I will peacefully return with a DL vehicle and drive around in piece for a year now 😀. Thanks for all the good job

Dear Friends,

The matter was listed today.The SP of Leh has been made a party and the Judge has given 3 more weeks to the govt for filing response to our PIL.

The govt pleader told the court that security has been beefed up in the region after the interim order.

Hi Waseem
Currently self drive rental cars can't be taken to places like Nubra and Pangong due to taxi union. Does our PIL ask the govt to stop the Taxi union from making checkpoints etc., and stopping tourists?

The PIL addresses all the issues.

Thank you for the follow up and providing updates. Will be following this closely since I wish to drive there one day. And I would require a rental car.

Dear Friends,

J&K Govt have still not filed objections till date.

The matter is likely to come up for hearing next week and our lawyer will press for objections.

I recently bought a 4x4 and was planning to go to Ladakh next year and then this thread caught my attention.

My Fortuner is in my company name, is that going to be an issue now?

The case has not progressed much.

You can drive without any fear.
