The Internet is also a fundamental right: the Supreme Government raps the Kashmir issue

Supreme observes historical, sanctions noted to us: happiness in Kashmiris

New delhi date. January 10, 2020, Friday

In Jammu and Kashmir, the government has banned the Internet, the move was taken after Article 370 was removed, but a petition has been filed in the Supreme Court as the Internet restrictions have not yet been lifted.

At the hearing of the petition, the Supreme Court said that Article 19 of the Constitution is also a fundamental right in the present time and cannot be taken away. The Supreme Court also ordered that the sanctions be reviewed in Kashmir.

Judge V.N. Ramana, BR A bench of Gawai and R Subhash Reddy heard the petitions. Applicants also raised questions about the curfew imposed by 144 for a long time in several areas besides the Internet. The Supreme Court has said that 144 cannot be used to speak to people and to sever other freedoms.

The Supreme Court later ordered that the internet be launched immediately wherever necessary and that the Internet be banned elsewhere.

Also, 144 should be used to ensure that people's freedom is not stripped. Along with this, any sanctions imposed should be reviewed within a week. The sanctions for which the review has been ordered include e-banking, trade service and 144.

The Supreme Court's decision showed happiness in Kashmiris, as well as opposition. Information lawyer Vrinda Grover said that what the Supreme Court observed was extremely important. Vrinda Grover is fighting a case in the Supreme Court on behalf of Anuradha of Kashmir Times.

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has also appealed the matter, saying that the verdict is historic, for the first time the Supreme Court has taken note of the matter aggressively and talked about how the Kashmiris are feeling. This ruling proves that the central government is misleading the entire country.

The National Conference and the People's Democratic Party also welcomed the ruling. "We have been suffering for a long time," said Afrin Mushtaq, a Srinagar student. The scandal that the Supreme Court has taken on sanctions over the Internet, even if it is late, is welcome.

The Constitution also has to comply with Article 19: Important observations of the Supreme

New delhi date. 10

- The Supreme Court made the largest statement on the Internet, which is banned from August 5. The Supreme said that the Internet is part of freedom of expression today and falls within the fundamental rights under Article 19 of the Constitution.

- If the internet is to be banned, then all the rules under Article 19 have to be followed. The Supreme Court said that Article 144 cannot be applied for long. Applying Article 144 for a long time in this circumstance shows that power is being abused.

- The decisions that the government has taken do not seem to be correct in any way. The apex court has constituted a committee along with a directive to the state government to make all sanctions imposed. The committee will review the government's decisions and prepare a report within a week.

- Commenting on the 144 with the Supreme Court, saying that Article 144 wherever applicable, then it needs to be reviewed within seven days. The Supreme Court has also opened a way for the High Court to challenge this.
