SC asks J-K administration to place before it orders imposing restrictions

The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Jammu and Kashmir administration to place before it the administrative orders imposing communication and other restrictions in the state following the abrogation of provisions of Article 370.

A bench headed by Justice N V Ramana questioned Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the administration, as to why the administrative orders have not been filed yet in the court.

"You had passed some orders. Why you have not filed it?", the bench, also comprising justices R Subhash Reddy and B R Gavai, asked Mehta. "Is it purposefully done?"
During the arguments, the bench took exception that some of the advocates appearing in the matter have raised their voice and said, "It is not proper for lawyers to shout in the court. It is not proper."
