The Delhi High Court has stayed CDSCO’s order to prosecute IndiaMART for allegedly listing illegal drugs, granting the e-commerce platform interim relief. The matter will be heard again on September 17, 2025.
X Corp tells Karnataka HC that the Sahyog portal enables secret censorship without due process. SG Mehta defends it as vital for India’s massive digital safety.
X Corp told the Karnataka High Court that the Centre’s Sahyog portal allows arbitrary censorship without legal safeguards. The court will hear the matter next on July 17.
X Corp has been granted two weeks to submit amendment applications regarding its petition against the government’s content takedown orders, with the hearing rescheduled for July 1, 2025. The company argues that the government misuses legal provisions for content removal and should follow Section 69A of the IT Act for proper procedure.
The Central Government of India has opposed X’s claims of censorship regarding its Sahyog portal, labeling them as baseless. In a court affidavit, the government asserted that X’s terminology is misleading and that the platform lacks fundamental rights under the Indian Constitution, emphasizing the conditional nature of safe harbour protections for intermediaries.
