Plea against internet shutdown around Jantar Mantar withdrawn from Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition from the Software Freedom Law Centre seeking to quash internet shutdown orders around Jantar Mantar, after the petitioner withdrew it. The shutdown, implemented by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs during protests by the Cockroach Janta Party, was lifted following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The petition argued that the suspension of services was unconstitutional and lacked justification for public safety.
