The messaging platform Telegram challenges the Central government’s temporary ban on its services in India imposed ahead of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination on June 21. Multiple reports say Telegram moved the Delhi High Court seeking judicial intervention after the restriction was ordered due to concerns about misuse connected to exam-related content circulation. In court, the High Court questioned the government’s action, including how the rights of a large number of users could be curtailed over alleged misuse by a few. The government defended the ban, saying Telegram’s structure made it vulnerable to large-scale information dissemination and that immediate steps were needed to prevent examination fraud. Later, the Delhi High Court reserved its decision on Telegram’s plea and subsequently upheld the government’s restriction. According to one account, the court found the emergency action under the IT Act to be proportionate and necessary, and noted that other options had been exhausted. Telegram’s attempt to overturn the restriction is reported as rejected, with the High Court allowing the temporary suspension to stand for the NEET re-test period.
