New Delhi, Oct 1 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that it will hear the pleas challenging the decision to abolish the Constitution's Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir from November 14, while granting four weeks time to the Centre to file a response on the batch of petitions.

The Supreme Court constitution has granted the government 28 days' time to reply to all Kashmir petitions and one week to the petitioners to file their responses after the government's reply.  The petitions on Kashmir will again be heard on November 14. Supreme Court has allowed the Centre and J&K administration to file counter-affidavits on petitions challenging scrapping of Article 370.  Attorney General KK Venugopal sought 4 weeks' time while Solicitor General for Jammu and Kashmir also sought the same amount of time to file replies to the bunch of petitions.  The petitioners however opposed the Centre's demand and said that the move will render all petitions infructuous or pointless.
