SRINAGAR: The Supreme Court of India has adjourned the hearing of a series of petitions regarding Article 35(A) again. The case is now listed for early January 2019, reports reaching from Delhi said.

Kashmir is right now on strike for the last two days against any possible tinkering in the article of the constitution that protects the identity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The courtroom, reports from Delhi said, was crowded by the lawyers from Jammu and Kashmir. The high court bar association had flown a huge battery of lawyers and almost all the political parties have prayed before the court to be taken at parties. They have also hired the lawyers to defend their position.

The lawyers of the petitioners insisted that the case should be heard, the bench insisted that since the provision has been there since 1954, they better wait for some more time. The bench ruled the case will be taken up in the second eweek of jamartu 2019.
