NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has dismissed a clutch of petitions seeking reconsideration of its December 11, 2023 judgment which upheld the Centre's August 5, 2019 decision to do away with special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 and bifurcating the erstwhile state into two UTs - J&K and Ladakh.
A bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and Justices Sanjiv Khanna, B R Gavai, Surya Kant and A S Bopanna noted that there was no error apparent in the judgment, so there was no case of review.
"Having perused the review petitions, there is no error apparent on the face of the record. No case for review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules 2013. The review petitions are, therefore, dismissed," the bench said.
Although the court granted permission to file the review petition but it rejected the application seeking permission to appear and argue in person.
The court also dismissed an application for open court hearing.
Petitioners Awami National Conference and others have filed the review petitions in the matter.
According to the Supreme Court Rules, 2013, a review petition is taken up by the judges inside their chambers by circulation of papers.
The order on review petitions was passed on May 1, 2024. However, the copy was uploaded on Tuesday only.
There were as many as 20 review petitions against the judgment.
