W.P.(C) No. 1099/2019
IN RE ARTICLE 370 OF THE CONSTITUTION VS
The Constitution Bench (five judges) of the Supreme Court unanimously concluded that there is no conflict between the judgments in the Prem Nath Kaul and the Sampat Prakash. The Court therefore declined to refer the issue to a larger bench. The Court also held that the case of Sampat Prakash was not incorrect because it failed to consider the earlier decision in Prem Nath Kaul. This decision paved the way for the legality of abolition of Article 370 to be decided by a Constitution Bench (five judges) as opposed to a larger bench of seven judges.
