Chief secretaries of states told to follow top court's law on internet shutdowns: Centre to SC
Supreme Court that it had written to the state chief secretaries to follow the law laid down by the apex court on the issue of internet shutdowns. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and P B Varale was informed by the Centre about the top court's judgement on internet shutdowns in Anuradha Bhasin's case.
In Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India, the apex court ruled that an undefined restriction of internet services was illegal and orders for internet shutdown must satisfy the tests of necessity and proportionality.
On Tuesday, the petition before the bench alleged shutting down of internet services in some states on account of preventing cheating in examinations.
«We have issued specific letters to the chief secretaries that there is a judgement of Anuradha Bhasin which lays down the law, please follow that law. Please ensure that it is not used outside the legislative parameters that have been provided,» said the counsel representing the Centre.
The lawyer said the Centre had filed its counter affidavit in the matter.
