Petitioner files review plea in SC challenging verdict on Article 370 abrogation

SRINAGAR — A review petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against its verdict upholding the abrogation of Article 370.

The review petition was filed in the top court by Muzaffar Iqbal Khan, one of the petitioners in the Article 370 case.

Speaking with the news agency KNO, Khan said he filed the petition today.

On December 11, a 5-judge Constitution Bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud upheld the legal validity of the abrogation of Article 370 by the President of India in August 2019.

The Supreme had also asked the Centre to restore J&K’s statehood as soon as possible and hold elections to the J&K Assembly before September 30, 2024.
