On August 5, 2019, the Central government announced the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir granted under Article 370 and split the region into two Union territories.
“We will examine and give a date,” said a bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha as one of the petitioners sought early listing of the matter which is pending since long.
The implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which got President's assent on August 9, means the special status enjoyed by Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 comes to an end after 72 years.
