Jammu and Kashmir was always an integral part of India : SC commented

The Supreme Court has said that Article 370 may or may not be there, but Jammu and Kashmir was and always will be an integral part of India. 

During the hearing, the petitioners also raised the issue of petitions filed against the abolition of Article 370 in August 2019. On this, Justice MM Sundaresh asked the counsel appearing for the petitioners whether they were also challenging the abrogation of Article 370 in this petition.

The Supreme Court made it clear that the hearing would be on delimitation only. Article 370 will not be considered in this, because the matter of Article 370 is already pending before the court. Along with this, the Supreme Court has issued notice to the Central Government and the Jammu and Kashmir Administration on the issue of challenging the delimitation of the Legislative Assembly seats. The court also pulled up the petitioners for filing the petition late.
