The Supreme Court, earlier this month, had said it was “shocking” and “distressing” that people were being booked under Section 66A through the provision was quashed.

On Monday, during the hearing the bench noted that the judiciary’s aspect can be taken care of separately, but there is police also who are charging people under this section.

The court said there needs to be one proper order because this cannot continue like this.

The Centre, in its affidavit, had said: “It is submitted that ‘police’ and ‘public order’ are state subjects as per the Constitution and prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes and capacity building of police personnel as the primary responsibility of states”.

According to the central government, 21 states and UTs have reported compliance with the 2015 judgment in their letters to the ministry of information and technology.
