Tushar Mehta saw it through, from start to finish
Tuesday, 12 December 2023
The Supreme Court verdict upholding the abrogation of Article 370 in J&K marked a personal validation for solicitor general Tushar Mehta. He played a pivotal role in the process, from the formulation of the government's decision to successfully defending it in court. Mehta forcefully challenged the argument that Article 370 had become a permanent feature. He described the decision as correcting a historical constitutional blunder. Mehta credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their iron will and brilliant strategy. He also praised the five senior justices on the bench for their patient hearing.
