New Delhi: The Supreme Court has upheld abrogation of Article 370 which it said was a temporary provision in Jammu & Kashmir.
Pronouncing the lengthy and unanimous verdict, Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud rejected the case of petitioners, and upheld Article 370 as a temporary provision in Jammu & Kashmir.
The judgment directed that statehood be restored in J & K as soon as possible and that elections be held by 2024.
The verdict, which was livestreamed, stated that the Central government can exercise power of a state government under President’s Role.
“Parliament/President can exercise legislative powers of a state under proclamation,” the CJI said.
The top court held that there are restrictions on powers to be exercised after imposition of President’s Rule under Article 356.
The five-judge constitutional bench delivered three verdicts on the abrogation of Article 370.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcome the “historic” Supreme Court verdict in a tweet.
Union Home Minister Ami Shah also tweeted, welcoming the top court’s verdict upholding PM Modi’s “visionary decision” to abrogate Article 370.
