DB directive on issuance of PRC 2/29/2016 10:48:27 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Feb 29: A high court division bench of Chief Justice Vasantakumar and Justice B.L. Bhat today directed revenue authorities to take a decision with respect to the issuance of permanent resident certificate (PRC) to the petitioner within three months. The petitioner's counsel pleaded that a direction be given to revenue authorities to simplify the procedure in getting PRC by adhering to clause-i of sub rule 3 of section 3 of J&K for grant of PRC (procedural rules) 1968 and issue PRCs to all permanent residents whose father/grandfather 'are permanent residents of J&K and are residing in the state'. He argued that revenue authorities should not insist upon applicants to produce the record of 1944 and the voter list of 1951 as the same were irrelevant and did not serve any purpose. Advocate Aditya Sharma argued that as per the rules of 1968, word 'may' has been written which means if the issuance authority is not satisfied by the statement made in the application supported by the affidavit, only then these decades back records are required. He argued that for youngster how it would be possible to get the old record of 1944 and the voter list of 1951 when his father, and grandfather are already the state subject holders and why they have been put to harassment by asking for one record or the other. After hearing him, the bench disposed of the PIL by directing the revenue authorities to take a decision with respect to the representation of the petitioner within three months.
