Today, IAS officer Shah Faesal and former student leader Shehla Rashid Shora have withdrawn petitions filed before Supreme Court challenging the scrapping of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.
A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud today allowed Mr Faesal and Ms Shora to withdraw their petitions and directed that their names be deleted from the list of petitioners.
"370, for many Kashmiris like me, is a thing of the past. Jhelum and Ganga have merged in the great Indian Ocean for good. There is no going back. There is only marching forward," Mr Faesal said.
Last year, he applied for reinstatement in government service and moved to withdraw his resignation. His application was accepted.
In a recent Twitter post, Mr Faesal said Article 370 is now a "thing of the past".
