As per reports, internet services (mobile + broadband) have been blocked in parts of Kashmir. It does not appear that orders have been published. We are filing RTIs with the J&K Govt. to obtain a copy of the orders and to understand the reason for the restriction. #KeepItOn 1/4
The Hon' Supreme Court’s directions in #AnuradhaBhasin (2020) 3 SCC 637 requires that internet suspension orders must be proactively published, and should detail the legal basis for such suspension. #KeepItOn 2/4
