Explanation:

In August 2019, a Reorganisation Bill was passed by both houses of the Indian Parliament.

This bill reorganised the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories—Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh—as of 31 October 2019.

After this reorganisation, the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir continued serving as the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh for both union territories

In August 2018, the High Court got its first woman judge with Justice Sindhu Sharma, who was appointed as a judge.

In the same year, Justice Gita Mittal, was appointed as the first woman Chief justice of the High Court.
