During the course of hearing, learned counsel appearing for respondent, Faizan Ahmad (CGC), submits that, with the enactment of S.O. 259 dated 3rd September, 2026, the composition of the Autonomous Hill Development Council, Kargil, has undergone a change consequent upon the creation of the Districts of Zanskar and Drass out of the erstwhile District Kargil and the coming into force of three Hill Councils.
