Article 370 Supreme Court Live Updates

We direct that restoration of statehood in Union Territory of J&K shall be done at the earliest, says CJI

We direct that steps be taken by EC to conduct elections of J&K Assembly by Sep 30, 2024, says CJI

We have therefore held that the amendments made to Article 370 by taking recourse to Article 367 as ultra vires: CJI

Interpretative clause cannot be used to bypass the specific route for a constitutional amendment. Permitting such amendments by such a surreptitious method would be disastrous. : CJI

Removal of Article 370 is Right Decision : SC

The Article 370 was meant for constitutional integration of Jammu and Kashmir with Union and it was not for disintegration and the President can declare that Art 370 ceases to exit says, CJI Chandrachud.

We do not find the use of Presidential power to issue CO 273 was MALA FIDE. Thus we hold the exercise of Presidential Power to be VALID: CJI

CJI : We have held that Article 370 is a temporary provision

SupremeCourt refuses to rule on the validity of the Presidential rule imposed in J&K in December 2018 since it was not specifically challenged by the petitioners

CJI : Every decision taken by Union on behalf of State during Presidential rule not open to challenge…this will lead to the administration of state to a standstill.

CJI : Whether Jammu and Kashmir retained an element of sovereignty or internal sovereignty when it joined the Union of India.

We have held NO

CJI : There is a clear absence in the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir to the reference of sovereignty.

CJI : That the State of Jammu and Kashmir became an integral part of India is evident from Articles 1 and 370 of the Constitution of India.
