The highest court maintained the government’s decision to suspend Article 370 and ordered that the parliament hold elections by September 30 of the following year. The SC also affirmed Ladakh’s reorganisation as a Union Territory.
Judge Chandrachud stated that Article 370, which was repealed on August 5, 2019, was a temporary solution brought about by the war-torn conditions in the former state.
Judges Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, Surya Kant, and Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud made up the five-judge constitution bench that rendered the decision. After hearing the arguments for sixteen days, the supreme court reserved its decision on September 5.
“If PoK can be introduced to India by 2024…” says MP Sanjay Raut of the Shiv Sena (UBT).
Updates on the Article 370 judgement live: “This decision is really significant. In 2014, Prime Minister Modi pledged that Pandits from Kashmir will receive rehabilitation in their own Valley. that PM Modi would have to provide the assurance that the Kashmiri Pandits will obtain their right to vote and rehabilitation in 2024. If not, he need to admit to the nation that he was lying and that this was his ‘jumlebaazi’ against the Pandits of Kashmir. Our hopes of ‘Akhand Hindustan’ would come true if you could bring PoK to India by 2024. In 2024, hold elections in J&K.” Sanjay Raut, MP for Shiv Sena (UBT), stated.

“The last straw that dashes the hopes of elitist Kashmiris,” declares Major Pawan Kumar, Jr.
Updates on the Article 370 judgement live: The Supreme Court’s decision on Article 370 is, in a sense, the last straw that dashes the hopes of affluent Kashmiris, particularly those of the former Chief Ministers, Abdullahs and Muftis. Article 370 used to be a special package that they received. The average Kashmiri was never the recipient of this unique package. Exclusive to elite Kashmiris, it was a pack of advantages, a family pack.An error in the past has been fixed.” Retired Major Pawan Kumar remarked

Terrorist financing cases have resulted in 229 arrests. SIA has suspended 134 bank accounts holding ₹100 crores and seized properties valued at ₹150 crores.
Article 370 “Indian opposition’s statement”
The way Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti responded to the Article 370 ruling was “Lambi hai gham ki shaam.”
The five-judge Supreme Court of India bench, which includes Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, backed the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to repeal Article 370, which gave Jammu and Kashmir special status, on Monday. A number of petitions against the India government’s judgement were being heard by the supreme court.
While a number of political figures, particularly those associated with the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), applauded the Supreme Court’s ruling, a number of political figures from Kashmir expressed dissatisfaction.
Ghulam Nabi Azad, the chairperson of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), called the Supreme Court’s decision affirming the repeal of Article 370 “sad and unfortunate” on Monday, but he also stated that everyone must accept it “with a heavy heart”.
According to Ghulam Nabi Azad, no one in Jammu and Kashmir will be pleased with this ruling.
Omar Abdullah, the vice president of the National Conference (NC) and a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, expressed disappointment with the Supreme Court’s decision, but he is not discouraged. Omar Abdullah also said that the BJP needed decades to repeal Article 370’s requirements.
Omar Abdullah used a couplet by poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz to convey the idea that hope should not be given up. “Even though you’re not rich, Na kaam hi tou hei Though the evening of sadness is lengthy, it is only an evening. Lambi hai gham ki shaam, Magar shaam hi tou hai (my heart is helpless, but that doesn’t imply it is hopeless)).
Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), stated on Monday that the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the abrogation of Article 370 is “nothing less than a death sentence” and that it signifies the defeat of the concept of India that the state with a majority of Muslims had acceded to in 1947.
“Today, an illegal and unconstitutional conduct that occurred in the Parliament was made lawful. “It is essentially a death sentence, not only for the idea of India but also for Jammu and Kashmir,” Mehbooba Mufti declared in a five-minute video message that she uploaded to X.
Article 370 was eliminated because the Supreme Court declared it to be provisional. Not only have we lost, but the concept of India has also failed. This is the downfall of the dream of India, the Gandhian India that Jammu and Kashmiri Muslims allied themselves with the Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Christians, rejecting Pakistan. Mehbooba Mufti continued, “That idea of India is defeated today.”
“My sincere advice to a section of people in Jammu and Kashmir who will not be happy with this judgement is that they should accept the fact that now that this has been done and the Supreme Court has upheld the action and therefore there’s no point now unnecessarily hitting their head against the wall,” said Karan Singh, a Congress leader and the son of Hari Singh, the former Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir.
“I now advise them to focus their efforts on contesting the upcoming elections. That’s where people ought to be now, he remarked, rather than being pessimistic.
“I am disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision over Article 370. Justice escapes the people of Jammu and Kashmir once more. Although Article 370 has been declared legally null and void, it will always be an integral element of our political goals, according to Sajad Lone, the leader of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference.
