The ruling came during the top court's hearing on a batch of petitions by the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the National Conference (NC) challenging the abrogation of Article 370.

Article 370 was abrogated in 2019 to split the state into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

Delivering its verdict, the top court said, "Not every decision of the Centre can be challenged. Jammu and Kashmir did not retain its sovereignty when it decided to join the Union of India."

The apex court also urged the Centre to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir as soon as possible.

"Hold elections by September 30, 2024. Restore statehood as early as possible," the top court said, while delivering its judgment.
