ARTICLE 370:
Article 370 embodied six special provisions for Jammu and Kashmir:
It exempted the State from the complete applicability of the Constitution of India. The State was
allowed to have its own Constitution.
Central legislative powers over the State were restricted to the three subjects of defence,
foreign affairs and communications.
Other constitutional provisions of the Central Government could be extended to the State only
with the concurrence of the State Government.
The `concurrence' was only provisional. It had to be ratified by the State's Constituent
Assembly.
The Government's authority to give `concurrence' lasted only until the State Constituent
Assembly was convened. Once the State Constituent Assembly finalized the scheme of
powers and dispersed, no further extension of powers was possible.
The Article 370 could be abrogated or amended only upon recommendation of the State's
Constituent Assembly.
