This research paper examines the judicial perspective on Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, focusing on its historical context, legal implications, and recent developments. Article 370 granted special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), allowing it temporary autonomy over internal affairs. However, over time, Article 370 became a contentious issue, with debates surrounding its relevance, legality, and impact on the integration of J&K with the Indian Union. The paper analyzes key judicial decisions, including the Supreme Court's ruling on the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of J&K into Union Territories. It explores the constitutional principles, precedents, and legal arguments that have shaped the judiciary's approach to Article 370, highlighting the balance between upholding constitutional values and addressing complex political and historical realities. Through a comprehensive examination of judicial opinions and legal frameworks, this paper provides insights into the evolving jurisprudence surrounding Article 370 and its significance in Indian constitutional law.
