This will lead to chaos and uncertainty and would bring the administration of the State to a standstill." Supreme Court ruled that Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, is a temporary provision. It held that the power of the President to issue a notification that Article 370 ceases to exist subsists even after the dissolution of the Jammu and Kashmir Constituent Assembly. The Top Court says the argument of petitioners that the Union government cannot take actions of irreversible consequences in the State during Presidential rule is not acceptable.

Supreme Court holds that Jammu and Kashmir became an integral part of India as evident from Articles 1 and 370 of the Constitution of India.
