- Argument that notification dated 24.8.1972 for the purpose of definition of ‘refugee’ is not applicable in case relating to admission in professional Colleges, has no force — Because the quota for districts of AJ&K and the refugees settled in Pakistan was introduced vide notification dated 12.3.1972 — Any person after migration from Indian Occupied Kashmir if settles in any of the districts of Azad Kashmir he will be treated as resident of that district and is entitled to claim the domicile of that district — His rights in respect of services are equal to those of other residents of said district — A person who is a refugee from Indian occupied Kashmir and is settled in Pakistan he will be treated as refugee — He is entitled only to apply for service against quota reserved for refugees settled in Pakistan — He cannot claim the service against the quota of any of the districts of Azad Kashmir. Waqas Ahmad Baig v. Samara Moin & 9 others 2009 SCR 542 (E)
- Whether the definition of refugee in the notification can be used for the purpose of admission in professional Colleges apart from service is clarified from notification issued on 28.10.1996 — Wherein quota reserved for different districts of Azad Kashmir and refugees settled in Pakistan for service and admission in professional colleges was defined. Waqas Ahmad Baig v. Samara Moin & 9 others 2009 SCR 542 (F)
- Another notification was issued on 24.1.2001 whereby the persons who have migrated after 1989 from Indian occupied Kashmir were given share in quota reserved for refugees in services and admission in professional Colleges. Waqas Ahmad Baig v. Samara Moin 2009 SCR 542 (G)
