Delhi HC issues notice to Centre on Telegram’s plea against temporary ban; SG claims ‘shocking activities on platform’
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued notice to Centre on a plea filed by messaging app Telegram against its order temporarily restricting access to the app ahead of the June 21 NEET-UG 2026 re-examination.
As the matter came up before a vacation bench of Justice Tejas Karia, Telegram’s counsel claimed the curbs were illegal, but Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta defended the government action, saying the platform was being misused and he would reveal “something shocking” tomorrow.
