Which constitutional provision was revoked by the abrogation of Article 370
The Supreme Court is currently hearing a case on the abrogation of Article 370.
The abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution by the government in 2019 revoked certain special provisions granted to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Here are the key points regarding the constitutional provision affected:
- Article 370 granted autonomy to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, allowing it to have its own constitution, flag, and jurisdiction over certain matters.
- With the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir will henceforth be fully integrated into the Indian Union, like any other state, without any special privileges.
- By repealing this provision, the government aimed to bring about seamless integration, improve governance, and implement laws and policies applicable uniformly across the nation.
- The abrogation of Article 370 also led to the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the creation of two separate Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh – on October 31, 2019.
- The Supreme Court is currently hearing a case related to the abrogation of Article 370, examining its constitutionality and considering the legal implications.
