On the eleventh day of the hearings challenging the abrogation of Article 370, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud stated that Article 35A, which defined “permanent residents” of Jammu and Kashmir and granted them special privileges, stripped others of their fundamental rights. Chandradhud’s remarks came in response to the arguments of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who stated that Article 35A artificially created a class of permanent residents who alienated the others, not falling under that category.
