JAMMU, Dec 28: MY Tarigami, the leader of the CPI(M), stated on Thursday that the Supreme Court's ruling supporting the Center's decision to revoke Article 370 is one of the options being considered. The statements were made following the unanimous December 11 unanimous ruling by the Supreme Court's five-judge Constitution bench to uphold the Union government's 2019 decision to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status, while emphasising that Article 370 is a "temporary provision."Leader of the CPI(M), MY Tarigami, stated, "As a citizen, I would say I am not happy with the verdict, in addition to being a petitioner representing my party. We are looking into other possibilities, such as asking the court to reconsider the decision and reinstate the rights of the J-K residents. MY Tarigami went on to say that the residents of Jammu and Kashmir were not consulted prior to the Centre repealing the aforementioned article. "Article 370, which was repealed without consulting the local populace, served as a link between Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of India. Before making the decision to abrogate, their opinions were not considered," he stated.In a historic decision, the supreme court upheld Jammu and Kashmir's revocation of Article 370 and gave the Centre until September of the following year to restore statehood and hold elections in the region. Reading from the ruling, CJI Chandrachud stated that every decision made by the Centre on behalf of a State under proclamation cannot be challenged in court because doing so would bring the state's administration to a complete halt. According to the Supreme Court, Article 370 of the Constitution is merely provisional.

JAMMU, Dec 28: Under the direction of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, the Administrative Council (AC) approved the amendment of the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act, 1989, incorporating a definition of OBCs in order to guarantee their reservation in this grassroots democratic institution. Attending the meeting were Dr. Mandeep K. Bhandari, the Lieutenant Governor's principal secretary, Atal Dulloo, the chief secretary, and advisor Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar.The J&K Panchayati Raj Act (Amendment) Bill 2023 was previously submitted to the MHA and the Government of India. The MHA reviewed the draft bill and made the necessary changes, which were then included in the updated version. The amendment bill suggests adding a definition of OBCs to provide reservations for Other Backward Classes, outlining the process for being excluded from Halqa Panchayat membership, and allowing the government to suspend and remove Sarpanch, Naib-Sarpanch, and Panch. Here, it also outlines the State Election Commissioner's (SEC) terms of service and removal procedure.By guaranteeing openness in the operation of PRIs, constitutional alignment, and conformity with practices in other states where reservation has been granted to OBCs other than Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, the proposed amendments seek to improve the efficacy of the J&K Panchayati Raj Act, 1989.
