Indian Supreme Court on Monday refused to restore 4G internet in Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir but ordered the Centre and Jammu and Kashmir administration to form a committee of Secretaries from MHA and J&K UT Admin to take a call after reviewing the ground security situation. The apex court also said that the high-powered Committeeheaded by the MHA Secretary should also look into the contentions raised by various petitioners.
“This court has to ensure that national security and human rights are balanced. We do recognize that UT has plunged into crisis. At the same time court is cognizant to the concerns related to ongoing pandemic and hardships,” said Justice NV Ramana.
