What does J&K Resettlement Act mean?
The Supreme Court "respectfully returned" the presidential reference on the J&K Resettlement Act on November 8.
The reference was made by the then President Giani Zail Singh in 1982 when its enactment by the state assembly had generated communal passions.
The act sought resettlement of the persons who were state subjects before May 15, 1954 and who had migrated after March 1, 1947 to the territory now included in Pakistan.
It authorised the state government to issue permits to those persons who wanted to return after verifying their antacadents.
