As per Bar and Bench, A three judge bench of the Supreme Court led by Justice NV Ramana  today heard detailed submissions on behalf of all the parties and reserved orders on the batch of matters concerning internet access in Jammu and Kashmir.

On a reading of the LIVE updates provided by Bar & Bench, it appears that the petitioners chose to not specifically argue a right to internet access but rather toed a line similar to that in Anuradha Bhasin, by emphasizing that the “Right to education” and “Right to healthcare” was being hampered due to the slow internet speeds.
