Current Matters
Srinagar : Almost four years after Article 370 was abrogated by Government of India and Kashmir based leaders and parties had filed petitions against it, Supreme Court today constituted a five-judge-bench to hear the matter.
The bench will be headed by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and other judges who will be part of this bench are Justice Sanjay Krishan Kaul, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice B R Gavai and Justice Surya Kant.
The bench will hear the petition on July 11 at 10.30 am and the bench will pass the directions in this regard.
The case is a writ petition of civil nature bearing number 1099/2019 (along with connected matters) by Shah Faesal and others versus Union of India and Another.
This is a big development coming from the Supreme Court and people have welcomed this.
Former Chief Minister and National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah has welcomed it and tweeted, “Finally the bench is constituted. I look forward to the hearings beginnig in right earnest now.”
