As the Supreme Court prepares to announce its verdict on Monday regarding a series of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 provisions in Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffar Shah, the senior leader and vice president of Awami National Conference, underscored on Sunday that the upcoming proceedings not only entail a verdict but also represent a significant litmus test for the apex court.

In an exclusive interview with a national news channel, Shah shared his perspectives in anticipation of the constitution bench, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud, delivering its judgment on Monday, December 11, regarding the challenge to the abrogation of Article 370.
He stressed that the gravity of the situation extends beyond a mere decision; it constitutes a pivotal examination of the Supreme Court’s mettle. Shah highlighted that the government altered the status of Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
“The court must determine tomorrow whether the government’s action was justified or not, taking into account the absence of adequate information and consent from the people. The spotlight will be on the apex court and its bench as they face a momentous trial,” he remarked.
“It boils down to whether the government’s actions on August 5 were in line with constitutional principles or not. We have faith that the esteemed apex court will uphold its constitutional values and deliver a verdict that aligns with the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he affirmed (KNS).
