What is the role of the Constituent Assembly in advising the President on declaring Article 370 non-operative or subject to exceptions and modifications?
The Constituent Assembly plays a crucial role in advising the President on declaring Article 370 non-operative or subject to exceptions and modifications. According to the context provided, the President needs the concurrence of the Government of the State referred to in paragraph (ii) of sub-clause (b) of clause (1) before he can issue a notification making Article 370 non-operative or subject to exceptions and modifications. If that concurrence is given before the Constituent Assembly for the purpose of framing the Constitution of the State is convened, it must be placed before such Assembly for its decision. Moreover, if the President wishes to make Article 370 non-operative or subject to exceptions and modifications through a public notification, he needs the recommendation of the Constituent Assembly of the State referred to in clause (2).
