Section 13 of JKRA : Section 13: Applicability Of Article 239A Of Constitution

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a group of residents from the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir wish to propose a new law regarding environmental protection. According to Section 13 of The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, they would approach their elected members in the Legislative Assembly of the Union territory, just as residents of Puducherry would do. These elected members could then potentially draft a bill, and if passed, it would become a law in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. This demonstrates the application of the same legislative powers in Jammu and Kashmir that are available to the Union territory of Puducherry after the reorganisation.
