The Supreme Court is likely to hear an action for instructions to restore the statehood of Jamm and Kashmir on 8 August.
The leader of the advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan mentioned this matter on Tuesday before the bench of the main judge of India (CJI) BR Gavai and the justice to Vinod Chandran.
“The date (on the SC website) shows up as 8 August. Don’t let him deleted,” Sankaranarayanan said according to the PTI press agency. Cji has accepted the request.
By the way, Tuesday, August 5, commemorates the sixth anniversary of the abolition of Article 370 in 2019, which provided a special position to the former state of Jamm and Kashmir.
The decision was deprived of Jammu and Kashmir of Statehood and the former State in two territories of the Union: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Since abolition, most politicians and leaders in Jamm and Kashmir have demanded restoration of statehood. The demand for the renewal of the statehood of Jamm and Kashmir has intensified after the elections to the Assembly created by the government of Omar Abdullah.
On December 11, 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously confirmed the abolition of Article 370, although he ordered the elections to be held in Jamm and Kashmir by September 2024 and his statehood “first”.
Last year, a lawsuit was filed at the Supreme Court, looking for instructions for the center of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood within two months. The application was submitted by Zhoor Ahmad Bhat, academic, and Khurshaid Ahmad Malik, a sociopolitical activist.
“It is argued that delay in restoration of statehood would cause a serious reduction in the democratically elected government in Jammu and Kashmir, which would cause a serious violation of the idea of federalism, which is part of the basic structure of the Indian Constitution,” she said.
He said that the elections of the Assembly and Lok Sabha were kept peacefully in Jamm and Kashmir without any incident of violence, disturbances or security fears.
“Therefore, there is no obstacles to security, violence or other disturbances that would prevent or prevent the statement of the statehood of Jamm and Kashmir, as provided in India in the current proceedings,” said Předba.
The application said that Jammu and Kashmir, as an individual state that has undergone many struggles and hardship, requires a strong federal structure to help develop the area and also celebrate its unique culture.
In his judgment in December 2023, the top court ruled that Article 370, which was incorporated into the Indian Constitution in 1949, was a temporary provision of a special position of Jamm and Kashmir. The Indian President was entitled to cancel the measures in the absence of a constitutional assembly of a former state whose term of office expired in 1957, the court said.
