The Supreme Court has fixed October 10, 2025, to hear applications demanding restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood after the abrogation of Article 370. Petitioners argue the Centre failed to honour its assurance despite Assembly elections and repeated Court directions.
Five prominent petitioners have urged Chief Justice B.R. Gavai to establish a Supreme Court bench to address the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir’s statehood, claiming delays threaten federalism and constitutional integrity. They argue that the removal of statehood is unconstitutional and call for immediate action to restore civil and political rights in the region.
