Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir) – While hearing a petition, the Jammu & Kashmir High Court held that Pak-occupied Kashmir is legally a part of India. Therefore, any trade carried out across the Line of Control between Jammu & Kashmir and Pak-occupied Kashmir must be treated as intra-state trade under GST. The Court noted that PoK remains part of the territory of the erstwhile State of Jammu & Kashmir.
