Ban on WhatsApp in India: Here’s what Supreme Court said

The Supreme Court on Thursday (November 14) dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) raising concerns about the privacy, integrity, and security of WhatsApp. The petition sought direction to the central government to ban the operations of the messaging service alleging that it does not function in conformity with the new Information Technology Rules (IT Rules).
A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and Aravind Kumar said it’s not inclined to entertain the plea filed by Kerala resident Omanakuttan KG, a software engineer, as per a report by PTI.
