HAJI ABDUL GANI KHAN vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the delimitation process initiated under the Delimitation Act, 2002, concerning the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, following the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of the state. The petitioners challenged the constitutionality of the delimitation exercise, which was based on the constitutional changes brought about by the 2019 orders and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. The court analyzed whether the delimitation process was valid under the amended constitutional framework and relevant laws. The judgment addresses the constitutional validity of the delimitation in the context of Jammu and Kashmir's special status and subsequent reorganization.
