In a significant development, the Supreme Court is set to deliver its judgment on the pleas challenging the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. The five-judge Constitution bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, will announce the verdict on Monday, December 11, after a 16-day hearing.
Preparations and security measures are underway in Jammu and Kashmir to address potential tensions and conflicts that may arise following the court’s decision. Political leaders across the country continue to express their opinions on the matter, with the opposition advocating for the reinstatement of Article 370, which granted special status to the region.
Several petitions challenging the abrogation and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which divided the state into two union territories, were referred to the Constitution bench in 2019. The central government defended its decision, emphasizing the absence of “constitutional fraud” in repealing Article 370.
As the nation awaits the verdict, Congress leader Ravinder Sharma expresses high expectations from the Supreme Court, believing it will uphold the Constitution and consider the sentiments of the people.
Security arrangements in Jammu and Kashmir have been intensified in anticipation of the judgment, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. The ruling holds immense significance, as it will shape the future trajectory of Jammu and Kashmir’s constitutional status.
