The Supreme Court of India has denied to interfere with the Manipur High Court’s order directing the Government of Manipur to restore limited internet in the state.
Manipur’s Limited Internet Restoration
A bench comprising of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and Manoj Misra heard the plea filed by the state government challenging the Manipur High Court’s order which allowed the restoration of internet in the state in a limited manner.
However, the court granted liberty to the state of Manipur to approach the High Court to appraise it of the difficulties faced by it in implementing the court’s order.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state government, told the bench that any rumour may ignite the issue in Manipur.
“Any rumour is likely to ignite the issue. The question of the internet, it’s sometimes open, sometimes not. Can it be left to the discretion of those on the ground,” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said.
