A Darjeeling lawyer has filed a public interest litigation in Calcutta High Court, challenging the state government's ban on Internet services in the hills.
The government banned Internet services in the hills on June 17, a few days after the latest phase of the statehood agitation had been launched by the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha.
"The honourable high court has issued notices to respondents. The PIL will be taken up for hearing by honourable Chief Justice Nishita Mhatre and honourable Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty on August 4 or soon thereafter," said Reemesh Mothay, who filed the PIL.
