Article 370 Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court [Day 15]

Another counsel: All leaders unequivocally said that J&K is integral part of India.

The counsel highlights that the consistent position of India before the UN security council has been that all sovereignty lies with Union and not J&K.

Counsel: Can someone be allowed to raise a question mark on nationality?...If in 2023 I have to prove that I am an Indian then is my dignity not affected?

Adv VK Biju: I'm appearing for a retired major...370(3) provides for a way to abrogate...368(2) has nothing to do with 370.
