The Supreme Court on Monday referred a batch of petitions challenging the Centre’s abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir and related issues to its Constitution Bench which would commence hearing on them on Tuesday.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi referred the pleas, which have also raised matters such as alleged restrictions imposed on the movement of journalists in Kashmir and illegal detention of minors in the Valley, to a 5-judge bench of the apex court.
