India’s Supreme Court has emphasized that restoring Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood must consider ground realities and security concerns, citing the recent Pahalgam attack. Petitioners argue that constitutional rights have been undermined since the revocation of Article 370 in 2019 and urge immediate restoration. The court has asked the central government to respond within eight weeks, highlighting that the matter involves legal, political, and security dimensions.
