SC to Hear J&K Statehood Case on Oct 10, Declines Urgent Listing

New Delhi, Aug 25 : The Supreme Court on Monday said it will take up the Jammu and Kashmir statehood matter on October 10, turning down a request for urgent hearing.

Chief Justice of India (CJI) told the counsel that the case requires hearing before a Constitution Bench on a presidential reference, and therefore cannot be listed before October 10.

The matter pertains to restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, which was downgraded to a Union Territory following the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.
