The office of SLIC Jammu & Kashmir Unit is located in Srinagar and also holds a sub-unit in the Pulwama district. The unit was established in the year 2006 to respond to grave human rights violations being committed on Kashmiris in the form of illegal detentions, custodial disappearances, torture, rape, murder, fake encounters and other similar acts of State repression. The J&K Team is particularly passionate to defend the cases of conflict-related human rights abuses given the socio-political situation in Kashmir. SLIC J&K has been extremely active as over 400 cases have been filed on behalf of victims in the courts and in majority of cases the SLIC have received favorable orders from time to time.
