 Why Did the Bombay High Court Strike Down the Amended IT Rules, 2021?

  • The court deemed the amended rules unconstitutional, citing their vague language and potential for abuse.

  • The rules were seen as promoting censorship rather than providing reasonable restrictions on free speech, violating Article 19(2) of the Constitution.

  • Court highlighted that the absence of procedural safeguards effectively made the government a “judge in its own cause.”

What Did the Amended Rules Ask of Social Media Intermediaries?

  • Social media platforms were required to make "reasonable efforts" to prevent users from sharing content flagged as misinformation by the government’s Fact Check Unit (FCU).

  • Intermediaries had to take down flagged content within 36 hours to maintain their legal immunity (safe harbour protection) from third-party content

  • The rules allowed the government to unilaterally determine what constituted "fake, false, or misleading" content, raising concerns about misuse

How Did the Supreme Court Intervene in the Matter?

  • Following a split verdict in the High Court, Justice Chandurkar was appointed to deliver a tie-breaking ruling.

  • The Supreme Court temporarily stayed the operation of the FCU notification, citing serious constitutional questions regarding freedom of speech and expression.

  • Justice Chandurkar noted that the government’s assurances about excluding political commentary were insufficient to prevent potential future misuse.
