Gvn...Five petitioners write to Chief Justice, seek immediate restoration of J&K’s statehood

Srinagar, June 30: Five prominent petitioners in the Article 370 case have written an open letter to Chief Justice of India B R Gavai, urging him to constitute a bench to adjudicate the constitutional validity of Jammu and Kashmir’s loss of statehood and to set a concrete deadline for its restoration. They also sought legal safeguards to prevent any future government from unilaterally revoking statehood of any Indian state.

The signatories, former J&K interlocutor Radha Kumar, ex-Home Secretary G K Pillai, retired Major General Ashok K Mehta, retired Air Vice-Marshal Kapil Kak, and former Inter-State Council Secretary Amitabha Pande, expressed concern that the recent Pahalgam attack may be used as a pretext by the Union Government to indefinitely delay the promised restoration of statehood.
