ARTICLE 370

Article 370 of Indian Constitution is dealing with constitutional provision of Jammu and Kashmir. Economics of Article 370 deals with autonomy to formulate the specific laws of permanent residents.

India has excluded certain laws that grant the status of Indian administration of Kashmir and the central government has to curb corruption since it is having UT now. Certain responses of Jammu & Kashmir are related to revocation with special constitutional status. This article has fought to provide a separate status and fundamental rights to this state given the ability to make new laws and autonomy for the permanent residents of the state. A recent central ordinance has extended the reservation to the STs and SCs in Jammu and Kashmir. Article 370 in the Indian Constitution has played a significant role in the field of providing the fundamental rights separately within the same country. 

Economics

There is a close integration of the Indian Union and the J&K under article 370 through Accession integration 1947. Article 370 has facilitated a special status to this state in the federal and quasi oriented Indian polity in the constitutional framework.  This article has explored the legal character and nature of this article within an Indian Constitution that might highlight the autonomy of the Indian Union. India unilaterally, arbitrarily and the Indian government has been abrogated under article 370 along with the assistance of the Elected Government and Constituent Assembly of J&K. The Economics of this state is also highlighted. The economic potential has been abrogated through this article and article 35 (A) has played a significant role in this segment. 

Article 370

Part XXI of the Indian Constitution deals with the special, transitional and temporary provisions. Therefore, Article 370 might be interpreted temporarily in regard to the Constituent Assembly of J&K through having the right of retaining, deleting and modifying to retain them. The Union Government has declared that there is no such proposal to mitigate Article 370. In the case, Kumari Vijayalakshmi 2017 at the Delhi High Court has too rejected through a petition in this court that Article 370 is entirely temporary and continuance of it is fraud under the Constitution. Hence the Supreme Court has debated for this phrase Temporary and declared that this article is not temporary. Apart from that, in the case of Sampat Praksh 1969, the Supreme Court has refused to accept the word temporary of Article 370. A five-judge Bench has imposed a new decision that Article 370 could never be ceased as an operative. Therefore it could be determined as the permanent provision and a separate constitution has been made on behalf of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370.  

Economics of Article 370
