MHA Defends Temporary Mobile Internet Suspensions in Emergencies, Responding to SC Notice

The Ministry of Home Affairs has told the Supreme Court that suspending cellular internet services is sometimes necessary in emergencies. The government's reply was filed in response to a notice issued by the court. The ministry's position is that such suspensions serve public safety and law-and-order needs under exceptional circumstances. The matter remains before the Supreme Court, which has yet to rule on the government's justification.
