Article 370 Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court [Day 14]

The hearings have been concluded for the day. The court will resume hearing the matter on Monday (04.09.2023).

Giri: The recommendation power of the Constituent Assembly was intended to be co terminus with the life of the Constituent Assembly which was dissolved after the constitution of state was made.

Giri: Ideally the proviso would've been deleted after the dissolution of the assembly in 1957. That's a different matter. But it cannot be contended that the power of the president under A 370(3) ceases to be available because the proviso is no longer available to be operative.

Giri: Once 370 goes and J&K integration is complete, the insignia of any sovereignty is a law making power. The law making power is with Union and state.

Giri: The Yuvraj had the entirety of the Constitution including Art 370.

Giri: The IoA is dated 27.10.1947. Kindly have a look at the proclamation issued by the Yuvraj Karan Singh.

Sr Adv V Giri: I beg to appear for the applicant in an IA, for the All India Kashmiri Samaj.

Sr Adv Rakesh Dwivedi has concluded his submissions.

Dwivedi: You don't have to accede or execute a document for the purpose of becoming units. The preamble, Art 1, 5, fundamental rights- all those make the republic. Without it, there is no republic.

Dwivedi: It is surprising that my friends on the right, wedded to democracy, are seeking permanence based on a crown which is long gone. The king is dead, long live the king.
