Menon's book, 'The Integration of the Indian States'.A five-judge bench headed by Justice N.V. Ramana and comprising justices S.K. Kaul, R. Subhash Reddy, B.R. Gavai and Surya Kant, is hearing the pleas challenging the revocation of Article 370.The AG also emphasized that there is no question of plebiscite in the backdrop where it has been declared J&K is an integral part of India, having its own Constitution. He insisted that the plebiscite did not occur or the Standstill and Merger Agreement was not entered into, is nothing but an irrelevant argument.The AG also nixed the contention of a few counsels seeking reference of the matter to a larger bench in the backdrop of earlier two five-judge judgements (Prem Nath Kaul in 1959 and Sampant Prakash in 1969). The AG contended before the court that Prem Nath Kaul is not contrary to the Sampat Prakash Judgment, and as a result there is no question of reference to a larger bench.The AG also cited Santosh Gupta judgement (2017). He told the court that it makes it clear that state of Jammu & Kashmir has no mark of sovereignty outside the Constitution of India and its own Constitution, which in fact, a subsidiary to the Constitution of India through Article 1.The apex court observed that it needs to decide the preliminary issue whether this matter be referred to a larger bench.
