SC Constitution Bench To Review Article 370 Issue In October
While hearing 10 petitions filed against the abrogation of Article 370 and all the restrictions imposed in the Valley, the Supreme Court has issued notice to the Central Government and the Jammu and Kashmir administration.
The Supreme Court has asked Yechury not to engage in any activity other than visiting Tarigami. Difficulties in the functioning of the media are being faced by the ongoing restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir. Many newspapers originating from the valley have ceased to be printed and news websites are completely closed. A petition was filed against this by Kashmir Times editor Anuradha Bhasin. The Chief Justice has issued notices to the Central and State Government in this matter and asked them to reply within seven days. Another petition was filed by Aleem Saeed, a student of Jamia Millia Islamia pleading that he be allowed to go to Anantnag to meet his family members. The Supreme Court has directed Jammu and Kashmir to provide security to Aleem Saeed in this case. Article 370 was challenged in several petitions filed in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court referred the matter to Constitutional Bench of five judges. The Bench will hear the matter in the first week of October.
Hearing the petition of CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that if a person wants to go to any part of the country, he should be allowed to go. With some conditions, he has allowed Sitaram Yechury to visit his party's leader Yusuf Tarigami in the valley."There is a citizen of this country who wants to meet a colleage why cant he go(to Srinagar)?

The Solicitor General Tushar Mehta opposed this decision. He said that this is a very sensitive matter. Other countries can take advantage of the hearing in this case but the Chief Justice dismissed their plea.Supreme Court issues notice to Centre over abrogation of article 370 in J&K
