Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud, while delivering the verdict on the batch of petitions challenging the scrapping of J&K's special status on Monday (11 December) said that the Article 370 of the Constitution was a temporary provision.
"We hold that Articel 370 is a temporary provision. It was introduced to serve transitional purpose to serve an interim process. It was for a temporary purpose because of war conditions in the state. Textual reading also shows it is a temporary provision and thus it was placed in part 21 of the constitution," the CJI said, Bar and Bench reports.
