SC to take up petitions related to Article 370 after Dussehra break

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday said it would consider hearing the pleas challenging validity of the decision of August 5, 2019 to scrap the special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution, after Dussehra break.

On a mentioning by senior advocate P C Sen, a bench headed by Chief Justice U U Lalit said the matter would be listed after Dussehra vacations.

Notably, the Supreme Court would go for a week-long Dussehra break on October 3 and reopen on October 10.

Sen mentioned the plea on behalf of a group of bureaucrats Radha Kumar, G K Pillai and others who jointly challenged the validity of the Union government's decision.

The matter related to Article 370 has not come up for hearing after March, 2020.

A five-judge Constitution bench has to be constituted afresh to consider the matter due to the retirement of Justices N V Ramana and R Subhash Reddy.

In March, 2020, a five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court had held that there was no need to refer the batch of petitions challenging the decision related to Article 370 to a seven-judge Constitution bench.

By modifying the provisions of Article 370, the Centre had revoked the special status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, and subsequently, the state was bifurcated into two union territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
