The Delhi High Court issues notice to the Union government on a petition challenging a temporary ban on the Telegram messaging platform, which is imposed ahead of the NEET re-examination. The court hears arguments related to the ban’s validity and asks the Centre to clarify the basis for its action. During the hearing, the Solicitor General, Tushar Mehta, representing the government, says that some Telegram channels are allegedly being used to offer leaked examination questions in exchange for money. The court also seeks information on the scope of the alleged illegal activity on the platform, including what specific conduct the government claims is occurring and how it relates to the NEET re-exam. The proceedings focus on whether the temporary restriction is justified and what evidence or assessment the government has relied upon. The court’s next steps depend on the government’s response to the notice, after which further directions are expected regarding the continuation or review of the ban.
