[BREAKING] SC Issues Notice On Plea For Restoration Of 4G Internet Services In J&K Amid Lockdown

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice in a plea seeking restoration of 4G mobile internet services in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, in light of the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.A bench comprising Justices N.V. Ramana, R. Subhash Reddy & B.R. The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice in a plea seeking restoration of 4G mobile internet services in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, in light of the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic. The plea further points out that since a large number of people in the valley rely on mobile internet services, the "restoration of 4G services is essential so that the residents can access the repository of information on internet" and that "the patients, doctors, and the general public of Jammu & Kashmir are unable to access the latest information, guidelines, advisories, and restrictions about COVID19 that are being made available and continuously updated online, on a daily basis," There is also a representation in terms of "telemedicine" or online video consultation in the petition which are "deemed impossible without access to 4G" and this, accordinly leaves the public at a disadvantageous position. The petitioner brings out the folly in lack of full-fledged internet services averring that not being able to have access to 4G "makes it "virtually impossible to follow the government mandated "work from home" policy, especially for businesses in the Information Technology and ITES sector" and also for educational institutions"also crucial to strictly implement the "work from home" policy being promoted by the government".
