Article 370 removed by which amendment: On August 5

On August 5, 2019, the Government of India exercised its constitutional authority to abrogate Article 370, thereby terminating the special autonomous status of Jammu and Kashmir. Article 370 (1)(a) refers to article 238 of the Constitution of India which has been repealed. This was to enable special autonomous status to the State of Jammu and Kashmir by removing the application of article 238 in respect of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. However, article 238 of the Constitution was repealed in 1956 after the “Part B” States were removed and included as ordinary States after the Seventh Constitutional Amendment in 1956. Part B States were former Princely States or ... Article 370 was essentially repealed on August 5, 2019, when the President of India signed a Constitutional Order (C.O. 272). This order applied all of the Indian Constitution’s provisions to Jammu and Kashmir, replacing the Presidential Order of 1954. All clauses of Article 370 ceased to operate, except Clause 1 which was amended to state that the Constitution of India applies wholly to the State, removing the special status awarded to Jammu and Kashmir. On August 9, Parliament passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.
