SC to examine Article 370

The Supreme Court, in an audacious move has agreed to re-examine the inviolability of Article 370, which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The issue was taken up for scrutiny after the J&K HC last year, termed Article 370 as inviolable by ruling that even Parliament had no power to amend it. The move also comes amid growing Indo-Pak border tensions.

Status enjoyed by J&K with Article 370

Under Article 370, a provision drafted in Indian Constitution provides 'temporary provision' by which Jammu & Kashmir enjoys special autonomous status. J&K's residents live under a separate set of laws, such as those relating to "citizenship, ownership of property, and fundamental rights" in comparison to rest of Indians. Because of Article 370, Centre cannot declare the state of financial emergency in the state.

Why do rightist factions want to repeal Article370?

Rightist sections of Indian politics such as BJP and organizations like RSS, VHP have been demanding to repeal Article 370 to promote 'national integration'. They contend that J&K is lagging behind in industrial growth because it cannot be subjected to similar laws as the rest of India. No outside companies can set up their operations in J&K which is hampering its development.

Article 35A of the Indian constitution

It is the Article 35A (1954) and not Article 370 that prevents Indian citizens who are not J&K citizens from acquiring "immovable property and exercising voting rights in Jammu and Kashmir."
