NEW DELHI, Aug 12: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Tuesday a plea challenging the Centre’s decision to impose restrictions and “other regressive measures” in Jammu and Kashmir following the revocation of the provisions of Article 370.
The plea filed by Congress activist Tehseen Poonawalla is listed for hearing before a bench comprising Justices Arun Mishra, M R Shah and Ajay Rastogi.
Poonawalla has said he is not expressing any opinion on Article 370 but seeking withdrawal of ‘curfew/ restrictions’ and other alleged regressive measures including blocking of phone lines, Internet and news channels in J&K.
He has also sought a direction from the top court for the release of leaders like former Chief Ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, who are under detention. (PTI)
