Is the use of satellite phones banned in India? Restrictions explained| India News

Published by Parlour News

A US national was arrested at Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar airport on Sunday, due to having a satellite phone in his possession. This is not the first time that a foreign national has been arrested for possession of a satellite phone in India. (Representative image) Another person, who was accompanying the US national, was also detained at the airport but was apparently let go after interrogation.

Even after that, only satellite services provided by BSNL (Inmarsat) are …

Story continues below this ad The reference pointed out that “there are conflicting judgments of the Supreme Court as to whether the assent of the President of India under Article 201 of the Constitution of India is justiciable or not”. Under Article 145 (3), when the President makes a reference for the court’s opinion, it is placed before a five-judge bench. In the Ayodhya dispute, the apex court, citing pendency of the case, had declined to …
