Last year, Zhoor Ahmad Bhat, academic and Khurshaid Ahmad Malik, a sociopolitical activist, filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court and was looking for instructions to the center of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood in two months.
“Grave violation of the idea of federalism”
“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 India Constitution,” she said.
She said the elections of the Assembly and Lok Sabha were kept peacefully in Jamm and Kashmir without any incidents of violence, disturbances or security fears.
“Therefore, there is no obstacle in the area of security, violence or other disorders that would prevent or prevent the granting/restoration of the stateness of Jamm and Kashmir, as ensured in India in the current proceedings,” said the request.
The application stated that the non -restoration of the status of the Jamm and Kashmir states would result in a smaller form of a chosen democratic government in the state, especially given that the results of the Legislative Assembly were announced on 8 October 2024.
“Center has not been taken by any steps”
Despite the instructions of the Top Court for the restoration of the Statehood of Jamm and Kashmir “First and as soon as possible”, the center was not taken any steps to provide any timeline to carry out these instructions.
“Jammu and Kashmir have been operated as a trade union for almost five years, which caused many obstacles and serious losses to the development of Jamm and Kashmir and influenced the democratic rights of its citizens,” he added.

In August 2019, the government of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-Modied canceled Article 370, which grants a special status of Jamm and Kashmir. The former state was also divided into two territories of the Union – Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
On December 11, 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously confirmed the abolition of Article 370, although he ordered the elections to the Assembly in Jamm and Kashmir and its statehood were restored “first”.
It is said that delay in restoring 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.
In his judgment, the top court ruled that Article 370, which was incorporated into the Indian Constitution in 1949, was awarded the temporary provision 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.
