Why Delhi HC refused to stay the Telegram block ahead of NEET-UG retest
The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to stay the government’s six-day block on Telegram ahead of the NEET-UG re-test, with Justice Tejas Karia dismissing the messaging app’s challenge to a June 16 order that temporarily restricted its access across India.
The single-judge bench held that the block satisfied the constitutional test of proportionality and that the government had followed due procedure under Section 69A of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000.
