Blasting a petition filed against the abrogation of Article 370, Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said, “What is this petition? This is simply not maintainable. What kind of petition is this?" reports ANI.
CJI Gogoi told M L Sharma, "I read your petition for half an hour but could not understand what is this petition about."
On a petition of an editor of a valley-based newspaper Anuradha Bhasin who had sought Supreme Court directions to restore all modes of communication, the Centre sought dismissal.
“Over the next few days, the situation will be settled,” Tushar Mehta was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times.
The Centre on Friday told the Supreme Court that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir will further improve over the next few days and the petitioners shouldn’t jump the gun to knock on the top court’s doors.
“We would like to give it a little time. I have read in the papers that landlines will be restored by evening,” Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi observed. Justice SA Bobde, one of the two other judges on the bench, added that the landlines appeared to have already started working since he had received a call from the chief justice of the Jammu and Kashmir high court.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
