A Harsh Reminder Of ADM Jabalpur Case

Live Law  

The biggest blow to the people of India was delivered by the Supreme Court of India on April 28, 1976. five-member Constitution Bench delivered its judgment in the Additional District Magistrate,. A While adjourning for two weeks, a writ petition challenging the imposition of restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir, following the abrogation of Article 370, a bench of the top court, on August 12, 2019, merely accepted the pleas of the Attorney General on behalf of Centre to the effect that, "we have to ensure that law and order situation in Jammu and Kashmir is maintained and that it will take a few days to return to normalcy." Subsequently, on August 16, another court bench hearing writ petitions on lifting the communication ban said, "let us give it a bit of time" and adjourned these matters to an unspecified date. In the first instance, the state failed "to ensure normalcy" from the day it abrogated Article 370; it has now tried to buy more time from the top court to do so.
