Abstract

On August 5 and 6, 2019, the Union Government of India unilaterally revoked the special status accorded to India’s only Muslim majority state of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution of India by the President of India. Following this, the presidential order(s), namely the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019, was passed by both legislative houses of the Indian Parliament and got assent from the President on August 9, 2019. This Act reorganized the existing State of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
