Explanation:

Article 35A derives from Article 370, which was enacted through a Presidential Order in 1954.
Article 35A is a one-of-a-kind provision in the Indian Constitution. It is a part of the Constitution, but it is not mentioned in the constitution.
- Article 35A does not follow Article 35 in the Constitution. Article 36 comes after Article 35.
- 35A, on the other hand, can be found in Appendix I of the Constitution.

It grants special rights and privileges to citizens of Jammu and Kashmir, was incorporated into the Indian Constitution in 1954 by an order issued by then-President Rajendra Prasad on the advice of the Jawaharlal Nehru Cabinet.

It gives the J&K legislature complete discretion in determining who the state's "permanent residents" are.
