The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to pass any immediate directions to the Centre and the Jammu & Kashmir government on a plea seeking lifting of all restrictions imposed after the abrogation of Article 370.

The apex court said that it will wait for return of normalcy and take up the matter after two weeks.

A three judge bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra was hearing the petition filed by Congress activist Tehseen Poonawalla on the Centre's decision to impose restrictions and "other regressive measures" in J&K following the revocation of the provisions of Article 370.

During the hearing, the bench also comprising Justices MR Shah and Ajay Rastogi, said the present situation in J&K was "very sensitive" and some time should be given for bringing back normalcy in the region.

The bench also said that it should be ensured that there is no loss of life in J&K.
