New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday upheld the government's directive to temporarily restrict access to the Telegram messaging app ahead of the June 21 NEET-UG re-exam, holding the order as "not disproportionate".
While pronouncing the judgement, a vacation bench of Justice Tejas Karia said the Centre's order was "least restrictive" and the government was empowered to direct blocking of access to Telegram.
A detailed order is awaited.
