A Constitution bench of the Supreme Court of India is hearing a batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution which conferred special status on the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir.
Appearing for the Centre and the J&K administration, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that J&K had fully surrendered its sovereignty to the Union of India upon accession, and that the petitioners “are confusing internal sovereignty with autonomy”.
