Supreme Court upholds abrogation of Article 370

New Delhi: The Supreme Court bench has rejected the case of the petitioners, and has upheld Article 370 as a temporary provision in Jammu and Kashmir.

A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court on Monday commenced pronouncing three separate judgments to decide



the validity of the Centre’s decision of August 5, 2019 to abrogate the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution, which bestowed a special status on the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

The bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, B R Gavai and Surya Kant assembled at 10.56 am to pronounce the three separate and concurring judgements.
