Sec. 66A challenged in the Madras High Court

The Hindu reports

“A. Marx, a human rights activist, had filed the petition on the ground that the section posed a grave threat to freedom of online communication. He also sought for an interim direction restraining the government officials from invoking the provision besides suspending its operation until the disposal of the main case which was to strike down the Section altogether as ultra vires of the Constitution.”

At present no more details are available through the court website or whether notice has been issued on the petition.
