STATEMENT OF FACTSJammu and Kashmir has always been a disputed issue between India and Pakistan. It has been an issue for numerous armed conflicts and human suffering. Both have realized that they can neither change the history nor the geography of the situation.

International pressure is immense on the two nations to find a solution to the problem. Ultimately both the nations realized that the best solution would be peace through rearrangement of their borders. An agreement was signed between them. The agreement states that perceiving the present situation it has become an essentiality for India and Pakistan to reframe their borders. India would offer Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh to Pakistan and as a reciprocative act Pakistan would offer Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan to India.

However, this was a shock to the people in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. An uproar erupted in the region and people stated that India has betrayed its own citizen by offering them to Pakistan and they were very much against this barter system. Three eminent leaders representing these three different regions decided to file a petition in front of the Supreme Court against the Union of India. Those three leaders were

1.Tenseng Lama A religious monk from a monastery in Ladakh

2.Rajiv Bhatt A Kashmiri pandit from Jammu

3.Ismail Anwar A religious leader from Kashmir
