‘Centre’s order is well-founded’: Delhi high court dismisses Telegram plea over ban before NEET retest

Delhi High Court upheld the Centre’s temporary ban on Telegram, citing its potential misuse for exam fraud and misinformation ahead of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination. The government’s order, issued under the IT Act, was deemed well-founded. The restriction aims to prevent cheating rackets from exploiting the platform, with the ban in effect until June 22.
