The Supreme Court took up the petitions today after a gap of three years.
New Delhi: Taking up a batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and the state’s bifurcation into two Union Territories after a gap of three years, the Supreme Court today decided to hear the petitions on a day-to-day basis from August 2.
“The hearing of the petitions before the Constitution Bench shall commence on August 2, 10:30 am, and then proceed on a day-to-day basis, barring miscellaneous days, that is Monday and Friday,” Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said.
Article 370 was scrapped in August 2019 through a series of legislative and executive decisions after which the Parliament passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act to bifurcate the state.
