SC refuses to interfere with order on limited restoration of internet in Manipur

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to interfere with the Manipur High Court’s order for limited restoration of the internet in the violence-hit state.

A bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasinha and Manoj Misra granted the Manipur government liberty to approach the high court and inform it about the difficulties that it would face in implementing the order.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Manipur government, said that the internet issue can be left on the discretion of the government as it is sometime open and sometimes not.
