Article 370: Petition filed in Supreme Court against Centre’s notification on J&K

The Hindu  

A writ petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Tuesday challenging the August 5 notification of the Constitution Order of 2019, which amends Article 370 of the Indian Constitution and scraps its 65-year-old predecessor — The Constitution Order of May 14, 1954 — as unconstitutional, illegal and arbitrary. In short, the government employed Article 370, which had once protected the 1954 Order giving special rights to the people of J&K, to scrap the more than 60-year-old Order. The August 5 notification amends the expression “Constituent Assembly”, contained in the proviso to clause of Article 370, to mean “Legislative Assembly”. Clause of Article 370 gives the President power to end the special rights and privileges of the people of J&K under the 1954 Order.
