SC: If J&K statute key, why is Constitution silent on it?
If the J&K Constitution was so important, why was it never mentioned post-1957 in the Indian Constitution, the basic and primary document for the Union and the states? The Supreme Court on Wednesday posed this searching question as challengers to demobilisation of Article 370 persisted with the line of argument that the administrative autonomy that the erstwhile state of J&K had enjoyed under the 1957 state Constitution could not be curbed or reversed independently of the "will of the people of Jammu & Kashmir".
