CI{RO\OI,OGI OF IMPT'G}{LL ACTIONS

(a) On December 19, 2018, tire President of I¡c1ia issuecl a proclamation

nncJel Article 356 of the Cons'itution prornulgating Presiclent's lule in

the Slate ol -laurmu ancl i(ashmir. The Prociarnation (helejnafter,

"lrnptgnecl Proclalnation") in:er ali.ø suspendecl the proviso to Artiçle

3 of the Constitution as it appljed in relation to the State of JarnurLr

and I(ashmir. The pro r.'iso to ê¡trcle 3laid clown that alteratjons to the

bounclaries of the State can cniy be done prrsr,rant to a reqrlest fìom or

u'itir the consent of legisianrie rf the State;

(b) With effect fiom .iuly 03, 20\9, the proclanation rssued on

19 12.2018 rvas extendecl íor a ftrñher period of six tnonths (also

heleinaÍÌer inclLrded u'ithin the :xpression "InpLrgnecl Proclamation");

I(aslrmir) Older, 2019 ("C.O. 212") was issued purporteclly under

Alticle 370(1) of the Constit'¡tion seeking to apply al1 pr-ovisions of

the Indian Constitution to the State of Jammu and I(ashmir. Thereafter

'll1e on tlre same date, it was tui¿ ¡rfor. the Pa¡liarnent . oïder, itlter

alio, in clear violation of Anicle 37Q(1) soLrght to amend Article 370

itself b"v addfug Article 367(.i). cieclaring that the pluase "Legrslative

Assenbly of the State" in ¡,riicle 370(3) shall read "Consriruent ' Assernbly of the State " It is pertrnent to note that wirile the order

mentions tirat the concurrence cf the Govel'nlnent of the State has

been taken, no elected _QOveffil'i€ilt exists as the State has been i

. P¡esident's rule since Decenber 2018. Further, the Governo¡ of the

State irad hrurself, as lece1lil\¡ as early August 2019 issued pLrblic

assu¡anÇes to the people of the State of .Iammrt and l(aslmir tirat

Article 354 and Article 370 r.vould not be toucheci ThLrs' his

incompetence to not substitÌlte the elected legislature notwithstanding,

it is unclear if he in fact colc,ntred u'ith the order, r,vhile rral

assurances to the peopie oi ils State, u,hrch are exactly opposite to the

conouûence.

. (r1) Snnultaneously, a Bill ri'a-q moved and passed in Pa¡liament to

leorganize the State of Jamnri and I(ashmir by biftrrcating it into trvo

Union Territories of Jamml ancÌ i(ashmjr, and Lacial

of l,eh and I(argil) extmguislt the State of Jamtnu and l(ashnir. Once

agaûr, there was no consultation as mandatecl by Article 3 of the

Constitution of India as per ri'hich a resolution to reorganise a State

rrLrst oiiginate fron the elecied iegislatr-rre of the State. Flrtilerl¡orè,

the biil t'as moved in the ai:sence of a recotnnendation Íiom the

President rvhich is a tlandator¡" teqnirement uncier Articie 3.

(e) The ver1, next day, a seconci Ccnstitution Older (C.O. 273) rvas issuerl

b¡, the President under A¡ticle 370(3) deilaing tirat Article 370 rvonl

cease to exist. Thrs order siands on the shoulders of the prev.iotts

C'onstihrtion order (C.O. 2i2) dated 05 08 2019 u,hereb1, the

requirernent of consent of the Constituent Asselnbly of the .Ianr¡n and

I(asluril' State was ilie-eall1, ¡eplaced by the Legislative Assernbly of

the State. In airy case, there -"r,as no recominendation f¡om the eiected

Legislative Assembl,v of the State as the State iras been uuder' ç , Presidèit's rule. Instead, iho older rvas plrportedly passecl by a voice

vote in the Parliament.

Iir this n-Lannei', the constitr-Ltl onal relationshrp behveen tLle State ol JaLnnlu

alld l(aslirnil and the Union of fud a was radically alterecl in a rnEtter- of tu,o

days, even as the people of iammu and l(ashrnir u'ere kept in the dark as a

crrfeu, was imposed in the S:ate ef Jammu and l(ashmir ancl all

Qommunication was cr.rt off on iugLrst 4,2019 midnight, in total violation of

.r' I tlreir lights undel Article 1,4,79 anrl21. The most irnportant reqr-rirenent of

the rvill of the people of the State of .Iammu and I(ashmir voicecl tir¡ough

eleoted representatrves in a Legislative Assernbly rvas sougìrt to be

silbstrtLrteri at e'err, step of i|1s r¡.¿1i by different functionaries such as the

Corrernor. ihe President and the Parliarrent. Frrtherrnore, these ehanges

u'ere effected ln absolute and incliscrirninate haste, in the absence of anv

cogent clebate in Parliarnent- reierence to any expefi bodies or. standing

conr¡ittees to er¡aluate tire constiiu:ional irnplicatrons of the bill anci even

the ai:sence of Lok Sabha members of Janmu ancl I(ashrrir. It rs subu-rined

that the actlons of the union Gci¡eLnrnent a¡e r-mçonstitutionai for the

foliou,ing reasons i

I. C.O. 272 and C.O. 273: Bcih inpugnecl constitution oi.cler.s are

uncoirstitLrtional for being passed rr ctisregard ofthe consent of the people of

Jarnmu and I{ashrnir, as expressei'l thiough ther chosen form of gover.nrnent

- a popularly eiected, repLrblican form of gover.nrnent.

a. Absence of concurrenc* .rf tlr. Sfate Governnlent: The state

of .Tammn and Kasir¡rir. iras been nncler the presiclent,s nile C,,

under Afiicle 35ó oitLe Cor.rstitution of india (as appliecl Lurder

the 1954 Order) since .Iune 20i8 and all routine decisions a¡e

taken by the Gor¡el:c r'. r¡'llo is a delegate of tlie President.

Therefore, the r¡,ii1 of tÌre people finds no expression iir the

corìcr-rffence of the gci'ernrnent of tlie State provided by the

Governor', rvho is tre-tel,v- substituting for a popularly elected

govermnent as an efteigency lneasltre under Article 356 of the

Constitutron. \Ã/rthotrt an Article 356 prociamation under

.i¡f operation, such concLrience could have been providecl only

prrrsr.Ìant to such aid ani adviå of the council of ministers of a

govçr nent that is lopularly elected. Absent that, the

concun'ence is invalicl a:ld liable to be set aside. for r¡,ant of due

p1'ocess.

b. Abuse of powers under Article 356: Article 356 of the

Constitlrtron, even thcr-rgir it conternplates transfer of legislative

ancl execntir¡e porvers ill the State to the Pariiarnent and the

President respectirreÌrr, d.:es not contelnplate the transfer of an1,

coñstltuent porver. The r.attre of constituent power is snch tha't

it is incapable of being iransferled uniess the Constitution of

.Iarnl¡u and l(ashmir prc irided a mechallism under rvhich sLrçh

power could be transfel'reC. TilLts,

i. The Presldent doe.l not u.quir. the constituent polvers of

the Governnen¡ ci the State of Jammu aucl l(ashmir

under Article 370(iXd), to gìve cencurrence to a

moclification of ihe Constitution as appliecl to the State

Hence. such powai to given concnnence caurot be H

e:(ercised b!- :119 Governor either, as hç is r¡e¡elv a

ii. Lil

' acquire tlìe cotlstitì-lent power of tile. legislative asserrbly

of the State of -i¡n¡¡ and I(ashrrir under Anicle 370(3)

to recommend a presidential notification, (assurning but

not conceding rue valídity of Impugned',Order C.O. 272 i ,tìt reclefinrng ccnstituent assernbll, to mean legislative

asserrblt.) Cclsequentìy, the resolutions passed by both

pa¡liament, houses of the recolnmending the issue of an

Article -i 7O(3; :residential notification, ptupor.teclly in ,,legislative exel cise of por^,ers tilat vest rn the assembil,,,

iii. In any event, the president under Afiicle 356 as applied

Government in tiie State in acco¡dance rvìtir the

provisions of "¡jle Constitution of Jarlmu and l(ashrnìr,,

and tilus cannoi abrogate the Constitution of .Iarnrnu ancl

I(ashmir driring president,s rule.

II. c'o. 272: TIte orde' issred urder A,ticre 370(1Xd) atteìnirts 'npr-rgned to rnodify the text of Atrcle 370(3) as applied to the state of Jamrnu ancl

Kaslriri¡ (via Article 36i(4)) by sti:r-riating that "constrtuent Assenbly"

sirail rnean "Legísiative Assembfi"' il Article 370.This is Lurconstitutional

because ,f I .r â. Ar-iicle ,170(l)(c) rnandaias that Article 370 (and Arricle 1) shall

apply to Janrnu and I(asirnl¡ b¡' virtue of the text itself, and that only

, "othgr" provisions can be modified and applied uncìer Articie ,

3 "0, 1)ld)

b. Anicle 367 of the Corstr:ution of India defines the uraurer of

interpretation of provisions ¡f the Constitlrtion of India, and thus can

be used to Írodif¡, rnereiy the interpretatron of constitl-rtional "'of pror,isions generally, wherl applied to the State Jammu and

L-r¡ I(ashrnir. I{orvever, C.O, 2T2 goes mnch beyond merely rnodifying

rnterpretation, insofar as it seeks to alter the snbsÍanrive nature of tlte

power under Article 370(-1) io recommend a presidential notification.

In effect, C.O.272 vests poqers of¿ certarn kind, only exercisable by

one body, and under AticÌe 370 a\one, in a wholly dffirent body that

lacks the comlletence to exercise such powers,

' c. The creatio' of a nerv s,bs¡anirve power in the Ìlands of the .legislative

assernbly, supersession ofihe 1954 Orde¡ and the ftrll application of

the Indian ConstitLrtton to .lar:rmu ancl I(ashrnir, and the consequent

abrogation of tire ConstitLrtloi: of Jamrnu and Kashmì¡, woLrld onl), be

possible under C.O. 2'i2 1f Atticle 370(1)(d),s power to rnodify ancl

apply provisions was a constituent power. Howeve¡, the president's

power under Art 370(1)(d) ís nct a..constituent power,,but is rnerely a

power to "appiy" provisions witil ',rnodifications and exceptions,.

under Article 370(ixd), and is hence inherently a lirnited power.

IIL C.O. 273: Apresidentìal notificatron such as C.O. 273 ca',be issried

only if rire ploposal for the cessa¡icn of Artìcle 370 entanates frorn the . State's Corlstituent Assembly (or its successor in law, if any), The .latntlLt

a:rc1 Kasirmir Constituent Assembl¡ does not exist at the cunent time ancl

, thus coulcl not have made a recoulr:endation to that effect. Fruthsrmore, nQ

recomrrendation was made b)' any legislative body in çxe¡cise of its

constituent power in Jarnmu anc K-ashmir that A¡ticie 370 sllall cease to

have effect. The state of .Iamrmr ard I(ashmir not iraving validly initiatecl the

process of ablogation of Article -r7Û (which, absent a meÇhanistl to clo so

under the Constitution of Jarimn ani l(ashmir could have been provicled ín

:iii::jr' tile futr-rre by a sr,ritable amendmett .rade to the Çonstitution of .Tatltlu and

I(ashmír by the legislatu¡e of il:e State in the çxerçise of its amending

powers), the Unìon of Inclia conld not have initiated any process of an1,

substantive cirange uncler Article 370i3) either.

I\,'. The Presidential proclamation dt, 19.12.2078 :The ImpLrgned

V. The Jammu and Id¿shmir Recrganisation ¡\ct 2019: The Impugnecl

Act is clearl¡, in violation of Aticle -ì of the ConstitLrti¡:ll, as the charactet of

â state canlot be extinguishecl in its er-rtirety in to ttvo nnion terlitories' Thele

is no precedent in oltr constituticnal historl', after the concept of Union

Ter-ritories r.r.as int¡odLrced in the Ser.'enth Anendment to tile' ConstitLrtion of

hrCia, in rvhich a State was cornpleiell' extìnguishecl, and recluced only to

union Ter¡itory/Ten.itories, To do sc impinges on the fedcral characte¡ of the constitution because:

a, Article 3 Iil¡its tl-Le extent tc ll,lticil tlie fede¡al nature of the uuion cau

be reduced. While states catt be can'ecl oitt flon existing states,.like

Telangana's çarve or-rt Êoni Alcllta Praclesh, states çannot be entirely

redLrced into LlTs as sougi:i ,;c be done rnder the irnpLrgned Act. Article 2 rn contrast, conf¿t's ¿n almost unlirnited porver on the

Parlian-rent to create new siat:ts, as the creation of ner'v states, brr

' furtirer federating the union, advances federalism. If the rmpugnecl

Co¡stitution orders anci impugned Act are uphelcl, India can be

reduced to a "Unjon of Union Teritories" rnerely by parliarnentaly

l.gistuììonr, rvirich is neither peitnitted blr 1þs text nor tire spirit of the

Constitution.

b. The terms of enh'y of .Tamr:lu ancl I(ashrnir tnto the Indian Union,

recognised ín the 1954 Ordel accord protection to the territorial

rntegrit¡i of Jal¡mu and I(asl:rli¡ by rnalcing the powers of b1,

Parliament, under Arlicle 3 of lndian Constitr-rtion, contingent on tlte 1_

.l consent by the state's le_qislarure. .Thus, tire extçnt of the State of

.Iamnn anci I(ashmìr can oilh, be changeci subject to strict federal aud

, democratrc guarantees - to the extent that Jalrunu ancl l(ashruil" s

legislahrre and Constitueti Assembly earmarked ''empty" seats for

abseni representatives of tl-:e u,ill of the people residing in those

legions of the State not nlder India's control. The break np of .larnrnu

and l(ashmir, is a violation oi this recognition,

\iI. All the Impugnecl acts:All the Irrpugned orciers and acts vitiate the

plinciple oi federalism. u'hich is parr of the basrc stn-tçture of the lndian

Constitutìon. Impugnecl Orders affect a complete and a r¡4rolesale

sr-rpelsessron of the ConstitLrtion ci Jamrnu ancl I{ashrni¡ even to the extent of

.iarnmu and l(ashrnir ceasing ro be -State, as dernonstrated by the passage of

It is a way of "sharing ' sovereignty", without need or commitment to ' political merging." 3.

energerlcy meâsr-rre under Afticle 3 55 of the Constinttion.

thernselves into an elected repubiican gevernrnent under the tenns of the

Constitution of Jarnmu and I(ashrnir- the only autho¡ity rvhose concurrence

would be valid unde¡ Article 370i1j(d) is the conÇrìrrence of an elected

factors before snch concu¡rence, but :ire practice of such ciemocracy, as a

an inlplied limitation to the exercise of such power. Tirerefore, ail exercise of

porver rn the instant case to gire conc-:rrence to a radical change to Articie

tire Constitu:ion of In

aud reduced only to Union Terrrtcr'1"/Terntolies. This is foi the reason that

the text of Article 3 arrci anv of the, i ror lsious thereuncler clo not perrnit the

sarne. This is in contladistinction to Afiicle 2 whele the porver of the

Parliarnent to create new states is ainost unümited. Thìs specific stl ucture of

Articie 2 and Articie 3 is il consor:anre w.ith fedçralisln being a basic feature

of tlie Constitution: the pou'er to enhance federalisrn and federatiirg the

r-urion fruther under hrticle 2 is broader than the powei'to redr-rce the .iÌi li!: federating nature of the union under.\rticle 3. If the approach and a.ctions of

the Respondent in the instant case is upheld, India can be reduced to a

'i.lnion of Union Terntol'ies" merelr, b¡, parliamentary legislationse rvhich is

neiiirer pennitted by ¡hs text nor the surit of the Constitution. Therefore, the

legislative porver of Parliarnent nnder A¡ticle 3 does not extend to diminrsh a

¡lN BBCAUSE the terms of entrl' of Janmu and l(ashmir into the Indian

Santhosh Gupta

(2AI7)2 SCC 538 that the State oiJamrnu anci.I(asirrnir is part of the quasi-

federai structure of tlie Indian Consii¡ution, witl.r the following diffe¡ences:

a) Article 370(i)(cl) read with Arricle 368 as applied to Siate of

.lammu and I(ashrnir permrtted it to decide if the Constitution of

Inciia's amencLnents qua ÌnCia will apply to it, unlike regrÌlar states

whicb do not have the pcu,er to decide if the Constitntion of

India's arlendments will atr_rply to thern,

, b) Parlìament has ljrnitei powers over Janmu and l(ashmir

and l(ashmir.

W\Ãi BÐCAUSìI these differe'ces ccnstitute the u'ique federai balance in

the relationship between.iamr¡u ancì i(aslmir and the Union of India.

XX. BECAUSE the essential fea¡u¡e of arricle 370(1)(b) and 370(i)(ci) is

that the State of Jarnrnu and l(ashmrr las the constitutional rigirt to consent

to presidential orde¡s. The State of ianmn and I(ashrnrr is entitled to decide

rvho wiil consent on its behaif as'heid'oy a constitution Bench of this court

in Mohd Maqbool l)antnoo v, State,of ,Iamnttt and Kashmir 1972 SCR (2)

constitLitron to Janmu and I(ashrlir. il a lnanne¡ that cloes not account for the participation and conseut ofthe pecple ofJarnrnu and l(ashrnir, destroys the federai balance, which is the conterrt of fedcralis¡n that is recognisecl as bas.ic st¡uctLlle of the Constttunon. sq VY BECAUSE, as this Hon'ble Court lias held on muitiple occasions,

federalism is a basic featr.u'e of the Indian ConstitLttion. It is respectfully

. strbmitted that the rnodel of federalis:n followed by our Nation is sui generis

(Dnrga Das Bast¡ ConstÍution of i¡to,i.a,9th ed., vol. I,p.622) il the sense of

being a pluralistic Jèderation, rvhere different constituent units of the

federation can have a different ,.tutionrhip rvith the Union, based upon tÌreir

tenns of accession, historical, sociai, poLitical, and cultural circrunstances

(R.C. Poudyal v Union of India,1994 SLrpp 1 SCC 324) Tliis rs reflected in
