SC to deliver verdict on Kashmir's special status in India
India's supreme court is set to deliver its verdict on pleas challenging the revocation of special status for the former state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier, in August 2019, the BJP-led government revoked Article 370 of India's Constitution, which had guaranteed significant autonomy to the region.
The state of more than 12 million people was also split into two federally administered territories. The Supreme Court had reserved its order in September.
The region in question was once a princely state called Jammu and Kashmir, but it joined India in 1947 soon after the sub-continent was divided up at the end of British rule.
