HC chides Jharkhand for total Net shutdown due to job test

Questioning the necessity to suspend all internet services across the state for Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination on Sept 21 & 22, Jharkhand HC on Sunday ordered the state govt to immediately restore it and not repeat it without the court’s consent in future, reports Chandrajit Mukherjee. Earlier, state govt, in a statement, announced that mobile Net services would be suspended across the state from 8am to 1.30pm on two days, starting Sept 21, to prevent malpractice during the exam but extended it to broadband connections, too.
