As per the case facts, a writ petition challenged the legality of constituting a Delimitation Commission for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir under the Delimitation Act and its
...subsequent exercise. This challenge stems from a 2019 constitutional order that applied various provisions to Jammu and Kashmir, modifying Article 367 concerning Article 370. The appeal to the Supreme Court questioned the constitutional and procedural validity of this delimitation process. The question arose regarding the legality and validity of establishing a Delimitation Commission for Jammu and Kashmir and its delimitation exercise, especially concerning the amendments to Article 370 and their impact. Finally, the Supreme Court found no merit in the petitioners' arguments. The Court clarified that its findings were contingent on the assumption of the validity of powers exercised under Article 370 in 2019, explicitly stating it did not rule on that validity as it's a separate pending matter. The writ petition was dismissed.
