Good evening, Yes, since Section 370 was removed, J&K's special status was revoked. This means that 37 central laws that were applicable to all other parts of India, will also be applicable in J&K. 37 central laws were not applicable in J&K before, when section 370 was alive. Now, 37 central laws, such as crpc, limitation act 1963, and also INDIAN PENAL CODE, 1860 is applicable to Jammu & Kashmir. Hope this helped! Regards, Nandini.

The Union home ministry on Monday extended the recently passed central laws by Parliament to Jammu and Kashmir and modified the existing state laws by substituting “state of J&K” with the “UT of J&K.” Earlier, the laws passed by Parliament were applicable in the state only after the state government gave its concurrence due to its special status and separate Constitution. However, things have changed after J&K’s special status was lifted and the state was divided into two UTs.
