The apex court described the restrictions as unconstitutional and held that right to the internet is a fundamental one, interpreting Article 19 of the Indian Constitution which guarantees the right to freedom of speech and expression. Upper House Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad also filed a similar petition questioning the restrictions.
While reading the verdict, Justice Ramana said the court would not delve into the political intent of the orders imposing restrictions in Kashmir. He also said that liberty and security are always at loggerheads.The government in its reply had justified the curbs as preventive measures taken to ensure that law and order were maintained after scrapping the special status of the state.
