The Constitution Bench led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud has unanimously affirmed the Central government’s 2019 decision to revoke Article 370, providing special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Emphasizing that Article 370 is a ‘temporary provision,’ the court stated it was enacted during wartime conditions and served a transitional purpose. The verdict clarified that J&K lost internal sovereignty post-integration, and the State Government’s concurrence was unnecessary for applying the Indian Constitution to the region. Three separate judgments were pronounced by the Bench, providing comprehensive legal reasoning for the decision.
