NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its verdict on a batch of petitions, including two filed by National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party, challenging the validity of the Centre's 2019 decisions to scrap the nearly 70-year-old special status for J&K under Article 370 and its bifurcation into two Union territories.
The courtroom debate over the issue, which commenced on August 2, lasted 16 days over a 35-day period, reports Dhananjay Mahapatra.
The challengers to the Centre's decision consumed ten and a half days in putting across their views pointing out the impossibility of amendment to Article 370 after dissolution of the J&K Constituent Assembly in 1957.
A five-judge Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, B R Gavai and Surya Kant on Tuesday ordered the conclusion of arguments on scrapping Article 370 and bifurcating J&K into two UTs.
