The High Court of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh has revised its working-day and holiday schedule for October and November 2026. Registrar General M. K. Sharma issued a notification on Thursday, 8 October declaring October 16 a non-sitting day, with November 6 declared a working day in its place. The court has also altered the November holiday arrangement. November 5, previously a holiday, will now be a working day, while November 24 will be a holiday on account of the birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The notification has been communicated to judicial and administrative officials and to the presidents of the Bar Associations at Jammu and Srinagar.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The October-November calendar swap shifts a working day to let the court observe a non-sitting day that is not itself a listed holiday, effectively creating a break without depleting the annual working-day count. The relocation of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birthday from a non-public holiday to a formal one, replacing a previously scheduled working day, standardises observance across the judicial calendar. The notification, issued to both bar associations, signals that the changes will directly affect case listings and filing deadlines for litigants and advocates. Practitioners in Jammu and Srinagar must adjust their schedules accordingly. No further calendar revisions have been announced.
