Won't amend spl provisionsfor N-E: Centre to top court

The Centre's statement came before a Constitution bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud while opposing a plea that urged the top court to assess the impact of abrogation of Article 370 on the special provisions contained in Article 371.

Refusing to expand the proceedings on Article 370 to the special provisions concerning the northeastern states under Article 371, the bench, which also comprised justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, Bhushan R Gavai and Surya Kant, took note of the undertaking of solicitor general (SG) Tushar Mehta that the Centre has no intent to touch any of the special provisions for the states in northeast or any other state mentioned under Article 371.
