A Constitution Bench will resume hearing today the Centre's arguments in the batch of petitions challenging the dilution of Article 370 of the Constitution.
On Day 12, the bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud had asked the Centre to make a definite statement regarding the timeline for restoring the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir. The bench had also raised queries regarding the manner of using Article 367 to make Article 360 inoperative in effect. CJI DY Chandrachud further asked if the steps taken in 2019 were "logical decisions" given that the substantial integration of J&K had already taken place over 69 years.
