Supreme Court agrees to list plea for restoration of Jammu and Kashmir statehood

The Supreme Court of India is set to hear a plea for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood. The plea argues that the abrogation of Article 370 and the subsequent bifurcation of the state into Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh was unconstitutional. The petitioners contend that the reorganization violated the principles of federalism and the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The plea seeks the restoration of the state’s special status and its reconstitution as a full-fledged state. The Supreme Court’s decision on this matter will have significant implications for the political and constitutional landscape of India.
