ABSTRACT

In today’s world, the internet plays a significant role in our daily lives. For many things, such as trade and business, we rely heavily on the internet. The Internet has grown to be so significant that it is now covered in Part III of the Indian Constitution. The main objective of the lawsuit was to determine if the prohibition on using internet facilities was legal, hence this judgment is quite significant. In addition, the Apex Court has established a set of guidelines to prevent the Government from abusing its authority, particularly in such circumstances. The problem arose in 2019 when the Government of Jammu and Kashmir issued a “Security Advisory” and advised tourists. to return to ensure their safety. In addition, orders were issued to close educational institutions. The judgment covered various essentials pertaining liberty and security of individual.
