Petitioner says cutting off internet access is violation of fundamental rights
LAHORE – The Lahore High Court on Friday asked the counsel for the federal government to come prepared with the official response to a petition challenging erratic internet service in the country.
Justice Shakeel Ahmed heard the petition filed on Thursday by Nadeem Sarwar who challenged internet disruption across the country. The petition argues that the internet and social media apps have been shut down nationwide without any notice or explanation. It states that the internet disruption is affecting businesses and all spheres of life.
As the hearing resumed, state counsel Rana Nauman appeared before the court and requested the court to give some time to submit a detailed report on the internet outages. Justice Ahmad observed: “This is a matter of public interest and your seriousness is such that you do not even have adequate information .” On Friday, an application was filed in the Islamabad High Court against installation of firewall and disruption in internet service.
The application made the cabinet secretary, the IT secretary, and the home secretary respondents. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority and the Ministry of Human Rights also have been made parties in the plea.
