How does the Indian Constitution handle the jurisdiction and powers of courts in relation to Jammu and Kashmir?
The Indian Constitution handles the jurisdiction and powers of courts in relation to Jammu and Kashmir by providing temporary provisions under Article 370. These provisions limit the power of Parliament to make laws for the State, as they only apply to those matters in the Union List and Concurrent List that correspond to the ones specified in the Instrument of Accession governing the accession of the State to the Dominion of India. The President declares these matters after consultation with the Government of the State.
