JAMMU/SRINAGAR: The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh Cricket Team has once again reaffirmed its standing as one of the premier contenders in the prestigious All India T20 Cricket / Legal Premier League. Since its debut in 2017, the team has steadily risen as a formidable force, securing four appearances in the finals, including the recently concluded 2026 edition held at Hyderabad from 12th to 18th January.

In the 2026 tournament, the team delivered exceptional performances, registering decisive victories over strong opponents such as the High Courts of Gujarat, Bombay (Mumbai), and Telangana during the league stage. Remaining unbeaten throughout the preliminary rounds, the team advanced to the finals with confidence and cohesion. In a closely contested title match, they finished as runners-up against the High Court of Gujarat.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity.
