IAS officer Shah Faesal and former student leader Shehla Rashid Shora have withdrawn petitions they filed before Supreme Court challenging the scrapping of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.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.
Ms Faesal first hit headlines in 2009 by topping the civil services entrance exam UPSC - the first Kashmiri to do so. Following several government postings, he resigned from service in 2019 to protest "unabated killings in Kashmir". In a Facebook post, he accused the centre of marginalising Indian Muslims and subverting public institutions. He then launched a political party, Jammu & Kashmir Peoples' Movement.
