On February 17, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud announced that he would decide whether to list the group of petitions contesting the removal of Jammu and Kashmir's special status under Article 370. 

Raju Ramachandran, a senior attorney, raised the issue as an urgent listing. CJI responded, "I'll make a decision on it. The case was previously brought up for an urgent listing before CJI DY Chandrachud in December 2022. Then, CJI had stated, "We will examine and provide a date."

Over 4 months after the Center's notifications were released in August 2019, the hearings on the Article 370 cases began before the 5-judge bench in December 2019. In light of the claimed disagreement in the decisions offered by two coordinate Supreme Court benches in the cases of Prem Nath Kaul and Sampath Prakash, a preliminary question emerged in the case as to whether a referral to a 7-judge bench was required. The Constitution Bench determined there was no need to refer the case to a larger Bench in a decision dated March 2, 2020. 

From March 2, 2020, the petitions have not been listed.

The petitions will be listed, as the then-CJI UU Lalit consented to in September 2022. Originally, when the matter was requested to be listed in April 2022, then-CJI NV Ramana had made no firm statements.
