Jammu: A few days after the issuance of the domicile rules, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday made the domicile status certificate an eligibility condition for admission to educational institutions in the union territory.
It stated in a circular that wherever permanent residence certificate would be required for admission to educational institutions, it would be replaced with domicile certificate. The administration advised all administrative secretaries to have immediate effect of changes in law or regulations.
"With the enactment of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, series of constitutional changes have been affected. In terms of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Removal of Difficulties) Order, 2019, any reference by whatever form to 'permanent residents of the state or hereditary state subject', wherever they occurred in any Act or notification issued or rules, orders made there under, stands omitted with necessary grammatical variation,” the circular said.
On Monday, the administration reopened "new registrations" for Kashmiri migrants and displaced, paving the way for the inclusion of non-profit people who migrated from the union territory.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) appealed to Lt Governor Girish Chander Murmu to consider existing state subjects of the residents as domicile certificates.
"The people having state subjects of erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir should be considered as domicile. They should not be forced to stand in queues for new domicile certificates which would be injustice for the residents, who have already completed their documents, and it would create chaos in the society," senior JKAP leader Vikram Malhotra said.
He appealed that the government should use technology to detect existing people who have state subjects and should be considered as their domicile. “If the state subject holders are not treated as domiciled, then it will cause chaos and anarchy. People will have to go through unnecessary trouble. The government should find a way out, ”suggested Mr. Malhotra, while there was confusion among the people soon after the notification on domicile was issued.
Appreciating the domicile rights of those residing in Jammu and Kashmir since many years, Mr. Malhotra said, these people had been suffering for decades as they were deprived of basic rights in the past.
“It was the humanitarian cause. These people have been staying here, and have contributed to the development of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said, appreciating their role in the union territory. With regard to concerns of the people on domicile notification, Mr. Malhotra said, “It is a document, and no document is complete in itself. As and when the elected Government comes back in J and K, it will make the changes accordingly.”
