6 months after Anuradha Bhasin v. UoI, state governments are still not publishing internet shutdown orders

We wrote to the Department of Telecom and State Governments of Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal seeking proactive publication of internet shutdown orders in accordance with the judgement of the Supreme Court in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India. The judgement in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India was delivered on 10 January, and since then, several states have imposed internet shutdowns without publishing the legal orders under which these internet shutdowns were imposed. Such secrecy is a violation of the Supreme Court's directions and undermines the rule of law.
