CLAT 2027: Important News of the Day | Internet Shutdown Laws & Police Identity Rules (23rd July) [A4FZFvZG6Rz]
Stop wasting hours reading the entire newspaper! If you are preparing for CLAT 2027, you only need to focus on exam-relevant legal developments and constitutional debates. In today’s Daily Important News (23rd July), we break down the most critical updates from The Hindu and The Indian Express. We decode the complex legal framework behind Internet Shutdowns in India and analyze whether police officers are legally permitted to hide their identities during public protests. Preparing for the Current Affairs section in CLAT requires a surgical approach to the news. We filter out the political noise and focus entirely on the facts, statutes, and Supreme Court judgments that the Consortium actually tests. In this episode, we dive into the burning debate over police identification during protests. Following recent clashes at Jantar Mantar, we examine the legal procedures governing public order under Chapter XI of the BNSS (formerly Chapter X of the CrPC). We also discuss why the Supreme Court's guidelines in DK Basu vs State of West Bengal emphasize the necessity of visible identification for law enforcement accountability. Next, we break down the legality of Internet Shutdowns in India. We explain the core statutes used to enforce digital blackouts, specifically Section 144 of the CrPC and Section 5 of the Indian Telegraph Act, read alongside the 2017 Telecom Suspension Rules. Crucially, we analyze the landmark Supreme Court judgment in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (2020), which explicitly recognized that utilizing the internet to express opinions and conduct business is constitutionally protected under Article 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(g). 12 Minutes to CLAT Courses 👇 👉 CLAT 2027 Online Courses: 👉 CLAT 2028 Online Courses: 👉 Mock Test Series: Social Media Channels 👇 👉 Telegram Channel: 👉 Instagram: Contact Information 📱 Website: Contact No.: +91 9929 77 4737 #CLAT2027 #ImportantNews #Article19 #InternetShutdown #TheHindu #IndianExpress #CurrentAffairs #12MinutesToCLAT
