Supreme Court refuses urgent hearing challenging scrapping of Article 370

New Delhi | Supreme Court has refused to give an urgent hearing on a petition filed by a lawyer challenging the scrapping of Article 370.

Division bench headed by Justice N V Ramana said,”The matter would be placed before the appropriate bench, that is the CJI, for listing the matter”.

A petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Tuesday challenging the Presidential order on Article 370 which revokes the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir.

The plea has been filed by advocate M L Sharma who claimed that the Presidential order was ā€œillegalā€ as it was passed without taking consent from the state assembly.

The Centre had on Monday revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and proposed that the state be bifurcated into two union territories, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
