Article 35A: Permanent residents, special rights & privileges
- Article 35A of the Indian Constitution authorises the Jammu and Kashmir state's legislature to define "permanent residents" of the state and provide special rights and privileges to those permanent residents.
- Added to the Constitution through a Presidential Order, it defines the special rights enjoyed by the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
So what are these special rights?
- As per this law, permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir have the right to own immovable property, settle permanently, or avail state-sponsored scholarship schemes.
- It further restricts companies from hiring non-J&K residents if they want to operate in the state.
- A person who is not from J&K cannot obtain a state government job.
- Non-J&K resident cannot join any professional college run by the government of Jammu and Kashmir or get any form of government aid
- Article 35A was incorporated into the Constitution in 1954 by the orders of the then president Rajendra Prasad on the advice of the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Cabinet.
Article 370: Special autonomy
- Incorporated in the Constitution on October 17, 1949, Article 370 exempts J&K from the Indian Constitution (barring Article 1 and Article 370 itself) and allows it to draft its own Constitution.
- As per the Constitution of India, Article 370 grants special autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir and is also temporary in nature.
- The provisions of Article 238, which was omitted from the Constitution in 1956 when Indian states were reorganised, cannot apply to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
- Article 370 has been drafted in Amendment of the Constitution section, in Part XXI, under Temporary and Transitional Provisions.
- The Indian Parliament cannot increase or reduce the borders of J&K.
On 5 August 2019, the Government of India revoked the special status, or limited autonomy, granted under Article 370 and 35a of the Indian Constitution to Jammu and Kashmir
