India, Oct. 14 -- The High Court of J&K & Ladakh on Monday issued notice to the Union territory government in a string of petitions that challenged its notification banning 25 books discussing Kashmir's socio-cultural and political themes.

The bench comprising Chief Justice Arun Palli, Justice Rajnesh Oswal and Justice Shahzad Azeem issued notice on the pleas for objections to be filed by the government. The notice was accepted by the state attorney in open court and the matter has been posted for next hearing on December 04, 2025.
