The Supreme Court recently said that Article 370 of the Constitution which gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir is not a temporary provision.
A bench of justices AK Goel and RF Nariman said , "”The issue concerned is covered by the judgement of this court in the 2017 SARFAESI matter, where we have held that despite the headnote of Article 370, it is not a temporary provision.”
Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appearing for the Centre, said that the matter be heard after some time as similar matters are pending before the court and are to be listed shortly.
Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan and advocate Shoeb Alam, appearing for the Jammu and Kashmir government, clarified that other matters which are pending before the top court relates to Article 35 A of the Constitution and not Article 370 as submitted by the ASG.
Dhavan said that those matters cannot be heard along with the present case Article 370.
The bench then adjourned the matter for hearing by three weeks on the insistence of the ASG.
