The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Centre on a plea challenging multiple provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. The petition alleges excessive executive control, surveillance powers, and violation of fundamental rights including privacy and judicial independence.
Delhi High Court asked the Centre and WhatsApp to respond to a plea by an advocate whose account was suspended. The petitioner claimed the arbitrary suspension deprived him of access to crucial personal and professional data stored in the account.
