Supreme Court's Verdict on J&K Special Status: A Historic Turning Point

The Supreme Court is expected to deliver its verdict today on the constitutional validity of the Indian government's decision to revoke Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir and divided the state into two Union Territories. The court has questioned the authority to recommend the revocation of Article 370 and the circumstances under which it became permanent after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly. The government argues that its actions were within the legal framework and have led to the development and mainstreaming of Jammu and Kashmir. Security has been heightened in the region ahead of the verdict.
