Pleas against Articles 35A, 370 won’t be heard today
There will be no hearing of pleas against Article 35 A and Article 370 in the Supreme Court Thursday, a source said on Wednesday.
The pleas did not figure in the final list issued by the apex court registry on Wednesday evening.
The case was listed in the advance regular cause-list at serial no 12 from February 19 to 21.
“The case does not figure in the final list of February 21 which was issued this evening by the SC registry,” the source told Kashmir Post.
Article 35A empowers the J&K legislature to define “permanent” residents of the state and grant special rights and privileges to them.
As many as five petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court against Article 35A, with the lead case filed in 2014 by a little-known Delhi-based NGO ‘we the citizens’.
