Summary: The various stages of development of the Constitution of India have been widely discussed. Although the stages of develop ment of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, 1957, are of no less importance, it seems that, due to an international controversy concerning the State, the internal aspect of its consti tutional history has remained under eclipse. The purpose of the present study is to trace the growth of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, 1957, paying particular attention to factors which induced the State to have a constitu tion different from the other states in India, to draft its own constitution and to secure a special status in the Indian Union. The growth of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir is synonymous with the march of the State from absolute auto cracy to parliamentary democracy. The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir reflects the hopes and aspirations of the people in the State. The monarchical constitution of 1939 fell short of meeting the demands of the political parties in Kashmir. This constitu tion provided for an authoritarian form of administration and its chief characteristic was the unchallengeable authority of the Ruler.

The growth of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir is synonymous with the march of the State from absolute auto cracy to parliamentary democracy. The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir reflects the hopes and aspirations of the people in the State.

The monarchical constitution of 1939 fell short of meeting the demands of the political parties in Kashmir. This constitu tion provided for an authoritarian form of administration and its chief characteristic was the unchallengeable authority of the Ruler.
