What was the purpose of adding a new clause to Article 367?
The purpose of adding a new clause to Article 367 was to clarify the application of the Constitution, as amended from time to time, in relation to the State of Jammu and Kashmir. It explains how certain terms should be construed when referring to the Constitution as it applies to the state, including references to the Governor, the Government, and the Constituent Assembly (which is replaced with the Legislative Assembly).
