SC Verdict on Constitutional Validity of Kashmir Lockdown Tomorrow

SC will pronounce judgment on the batch of petitions challenging the restrictions and communication lockdown.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to deliver on Friday, 10 January its verdict on a batch of pleas including that of Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad challenging the restrictions imposed in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir following abrogation of provisions of Article 370.

A bench of Justice NV Ramana, Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice B R Gavai had reserved the judgement on 27 November last year.

On 21 November, the Centre had justified restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 and said that due to the preventive steps taken, neither a single life was lost nor a single bullet fired.
