The debate over the legality of the centre’s decision and the manner in which it was abrogated has been raging ever since the decision which took away J&K’s special status in 2019. Today, a 5 judge bench delivered its much-awaited verdict on a batch of petitions challenging the central government's decision Although the SC ruled in the favour of government’s decision, it also directed the Centre to restore statehood to the Union territory of Jammu & Kashmir at the earliest which was taken away at the time.
