As per case facts, security advisories were issued, educational institutions and offices were shut, and mobile, internet, and landline services were discontinued, with movement restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir. ... This led to a petition challenging these restrictions as they impacted the movement of journalists and the publication of newspapers. The question arose regarding the legality of indefinite internet shutdowns and restrictions on movement under Section 144 Cr.P.C. Finally, the Supreme Court ruled that freedom of speech and expression and freedom to practice any profession through the internet are protected fundamental rights. Orders imposing restrictions must be published, subject to judicial review, and temporary internet suspensions should be for a limited duration and not indefinite. Repeated orders under Section 144 Cr.P.C. would be an abuse of power.
