The Central government on Monday avoided taking a stand in the Supreme Court on special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Attorney General K K Venugopal showed up before a bench led by Chief Justice of India J S Khehar to state that the Centre did not wish to file its affidavit over the subject.
Venugopal called the matter "very sensitive", adding this would require a "larger debate". He further pointed out that constitutional issues were involved and therefore, the case should be heard by a larger bench.
