High Court seeks reply in PUBG plea

The High Court on Monday asked the Union Ministry of Communications and the Jammu and Kashmir government to respond within four weeks to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking ban on online access to battle game, PUBG, in the state.

A bench of Justice Ali Muhammad Magrey and Justice Tashi Rabstan granted four more weeks’ time to J&K government for filing the response after its additional advocate General, Shah Aamir, requested for the same.

The Court also granted Assistant Solicitor General of India Tahir Shamsi four weeks to file response following his submission that the paper book was not made available to him in keeping with the order the court issued on March 13.
