New Delhi, Aug 6 (IBNS): The Supreme Court's hearing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the validity of the Article 35A that bestows special privileges to Kashmir has been adjourned till the end of August, media reports said.

The top court will also decide whether the case can be heard by a five-judge bench.

Article 35A of the Indian Constitution defines the permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir. It states who can own properties in the northern state of the country.

Jammu and Kashmir braced for a two-day shutdown since Sunday, media report said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which rules the central government, has said that it was ready for a debate over the contentious Article 35A of the Constitution.

On Saturday, the valley witnessed protests across several places.

The separatists' groups called for a two-day shutdown in the state demanding that Article 35A should not be scrapped.
