Indian Supreme Court petition seeks Jammu and Kashmir statehood restoration within two months.

A petition has been filed in India's Supreme Court by Zahoor Ahmed Bhat and Khurshaid Ahmad Malik, requesting the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood within two months. The petition argues that the lack of statehood impacts citizens' rights and that forming a Legislative Assembly before restoration violates federalism. The applicants highlight a ten-month delay since a prior court ruling and assert that statehood is essential for the region's autonomy and governance.
