Delhi High Court questions blocking 150 million Telegram users over NEET retest issue

The Delhi High Court questioned the proportionality of restricting access for 150 million Telegram users based on concerns linked to a NEET retest issue. The court expressed reservations about imposing blanket restrictions on such a large user base for actions attributed to a smaller group.

The Solicitor General referenced a government report characterising Telegram as a platform frequently used for terrorist activities. The case highlighted the tension between national security concerns and the rights of the broader user population.
