IRAC Analysis
Whether Parliament could effectively amend Article 370 without the State’s constituent assembly.
The Constitution Bench upheld the 2019 Presidential Orders abrogating Article 370’s special status and bifurcating the former State into Union Territories, while directing restoration of statehood to Jammu & Kashmir and elections to its legislature.
