Article 370 judgment: The Supreme Court's Constitution bench delivered a judgment on Monday, affirming the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution. This decision comes after the court considered a series of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 and the subsequent division of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories. The Constitution bench, comprised of five judges, not only upheld the constitutional changes but also issued a directive to the Election Commission. The bench mandated the Election Commission to conduct elections in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30, 2024.
