The Centre said it won’t rely upon the contents of the affidavit filed a day ago to bring on record the scenario in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370.

The Supreme Court also allowed IAS officer Shah Faesal and former student activist Shehla Rashid to withdraw as petitioners challenging the abrogation.

The Supreme Court appointed two advocates as nodal counsels for the preparation of common convenience compilations of documents. It said written submissions shall also be filed on or before July 27 and no further additions to the convenience compilation shall be permissible.
