*Supreme Court Grants Interim Relief to Ziarat Sian Baba Miran Darvesh Ghulam Qadir Trust*

*Status Quo Ordered; Notices Issued on Special Leave Petition Against High Court Judgment, Next Hearing on November 25*

Sheraz Choudhary

JAMMU: The Supreme Court of India has granted significant interim relief to the Ziarat Sian Baba Miran Darvesh Ghulam Qadir Trust, directing all parties to maintain the existing status quo in the matter. The interim order provides temporary protection against any change in the prevailing administrative position concerning the Trust.
The development was shared by Dr. Shehzad Ahmed Malik, Trustee of the Sain Baba Miran Baksh Darvesh Ghulam Qadir Trust. According to him, the Supreme Court, while hearing the matter, directed all concerned parties to maintain the existing position, describing it as an important interim relief for the Trust.
A two-judge bench comprising Justice M.M. Sundresh and Justice Sandeep Mehta was hearing Special Leave Petition (SLP) No. 28418/2026, challenging the judgment in LPA No. 157/2026 of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. The Supreme Court issued notices to the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir and other respondents and fixed November 25, 2026, for the next hearing.
During the proceedings, Senior Advocate D.N. Goburdhan, appearing for the Trust, submitted that the Trust has been managing the institution and its affairs continuously since 2000. It was also submitted before the court that the Trust had continued to enjoy interim protection while the matter remained pending before the Single Bench of the High Court.
In its interim order, the Supreme Court directed that the existing status quo be maintained. The direction effectively requires the parties to refrain from altering the prevailing position until further orders, subject to the court's directions.
However, the Supreme Court also clarified that the pendency of the SLP and the interim order would not prevent the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh from deciding LPA No. 157/2026 on its merits and passing an appropriate judgment. Thus, the Supreme Court order is interim in nature, while the High Court retains jurisdiction to adjudicate the underlying matter on merits.
Dr. Shehzad Ahmed Malik further stated that the matter will next come up before the Supreme Court on November 25, 2026, and that all parties will be required to maintain the status quo in accordance with the court interim direction.
Apart from Senior Advocate D.N. Goburdhan, the Trust was represented by advocates Touseef Ahmed Dar, Sajid Ali Bukhari, Vabin Kumar Bharti, Naeem Ilyas and Zeeshan Adil.
The Supreme Court direction to maintain status quo is being viewed by circles associated with the Trust as a significant interim development in the ongoing legal proceedings.

A major focus of the discussion was the future of Jammu and Kashmir’s youth. Khatana emphasised the need to expand opportunities in employment, entrepreneurship, skill development, sports and self-employment, while creating a stronger ecosystem for young people to realise their potential.

He also underlined the importance of strengthening key economic sectors, including tourism, connectivity, industry, agriculture, horticulture and trade, saying that greater investment and targeted support in these areas could generate employment and improve livelihoods across the Union Territory.

The promotion of GI-tagged products of Jammu and Kashmir also figured prominently in the discussion.

Khatana Question Brings J&K Aviation Connectivity Expansion into National Focus

New Delhi, Aug 13: A significant roadmap for expanding aviation infrastructure and regional air connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir has come to the fore following a question raised by Rajya Sabha MP Engineer Gulam Ali Khatana, with the Centre detailing ongoing projects, cargo facilities and the next phase of the UDAN scheme.
In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha on August 10, Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu said Jammu and Srinagar airports are being strengthened through terminal, cargo and digital passenger infrastructure, while an interim terminal at Udhampur is at the planning stage. No airport project has so far been initiated in Kishtwar.
Under UDAN, the Jammu-Bathinda and Jammu-Gwalior routes were operationalised in 2018 and 2019 respectively, with Rs 39.86 crore released as Viability Gap Funding.
Nationally, 679 regional connectivity routes have been operationalised under the scheme, linking 95 unserved and underserved airports, including 17 heliports and two water aerodromes.
Digi Yatra, Cargo Capacity Get Major Push
Digi Yatra facilities were introduced at Jammu and Srinagar airports on March 29, 2026, aimed at streamlining passenger movement through technology-enabled services.
Jammu Airport has a 680-square-metre dedicated air cargo terminal with an annual handling capacity of 24,800 metric tonnes. Srinagar has a 1,125-square-metre cargo terminal capable of handling 41,000 metric tonnes annually, besides a 480-square-metre international cargo facility with cold-storage infrastructure and an annual capacity of 8,700 metric tonnes.
Both airports are covered under the Krishi UDAN scheme, supporting the movement of agricultural and horticultural produce by air.
Rs 1,667 Crore Srinagar Terminal Project
Construction of a new terminal building at Jammu Airport is underway, while the Union Cabinet has approved Rs 1,667 crore for a new Integrated Terminal Building and allied works at Srinagar Airport.
The Srinagar project includes apron expansion, residential quarters for Airports Authority of India personnel and CISF barracks, besides other associated infrastructure.
Rs 28,840 Crore Next-Phase UDAN Plan
The Centre launched the next phase of UDAN on July 4, 2026, covering 2026-27 to 2035-36, with a financial framework of Rs 28,840 crore.
Of this, Rs 12,159 crore has been earmarked for developing 100 airports from existing unserved airstrips, while Rs 3,661 crore has been allocated for 200 heliports in hilly, northeastern and aspirational regions.
The government has projected significant economic and employment benefits from improved air connectivity. Citing an ICAO study, it said aviation has an economic multiplier effect of 3.25 and an employment multiplier of 6.1.
For Jammu and Kashmir, the expansion could have wider implications for tourism, horticulture, trade, emergency medical services and employment, particularly in remote and mountainous areas.

The parliamentary response also places renewed focus on the region’s future aviation network, with Jammu and Srinagar receiving major infrastructure investments, Udhampur moving towards an interim terminal and Kishtwar continuing to await a concrete airport project.
