Supreme Court dismisses pleas seeking review of verdict on abrogation of Article 370

The Supreme Court has disposed of the petitions seeking review of its judgment upholding the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution.

The five-judge Bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice BR Gavai, Justice Surya Kant and Justice AS Bopanna dismissed the review petitions in chamber noting that there was no apparent error in the judgment delivered on December 11, 2023.

The Bench noted after perusig the review petitions that there was no error apparent on the face of the record.

It further observed in its May 1 order that there was no case for review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules 2013.

While upholding the Presidential Orders which took away the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, the Apex Court refrained from adjudicating the constitutionality of the J&K Reorganisation Act in view of a statement made by the Solicitor General that the statehood of J&K will be restored at the earliest.

The top court of the country set a deadline of September 30, 2024 for holding of elections to the Legislative Assembly of J&K.

The Bench approved the carving out of Ladakh as a separate Union Territory out of J&K by holding that Parliament has the power to carve a UT out of a State even without taking the views of the State Assembly.
