When was Article 35A introduced? A batch of petitions challenged the constitutional validity of the Article 35A. Delhi-based NGO We the Citizens, in its petition, argued that Article 35A goes against the “very spirit of oneness of India” as it creates a “class within a class of Indian citizens”. Another petition, filed by lawyer Charu Wali Khanna, claims Article 35A discriminates against a woman’s right to property.
