What was the modification made to Article 370 on November 17, 1952?
The modification made to Article 370 on November 17, 1952, was the substitution of a new Explanation in clause (1) of the article. The old Explanation defined "the Government of the State" as the Sadar-i-Riyasat of Jammu and Kashmir acting on the advice of the Council of Ministers for the time being in office. The new Explanation, however, stated that for the purposes of Article 370, the term "Government of the State" would mean the person recognized by the President on the recommendation of the Legislative Assembly as the Sadar-i-Riyasat of Jammu and Kashmir, acting on the advice of the Council of Ministers for the time being in office.
