#BombayHighCourt bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni to shortly hear petitions filed by @TheLeaflet_in & @waglenikhil challenging #NewITRules2021 arguing the same are an assault on #FreeSpeech. Union govt to respond today if the laws can be stayed.
Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh would make submissions opposing the temporary stay.
ASG: The new rules are beyond the parent statute. Nothing in IT act that regulates content on online platforms. Only section 69A provides for blocking of content. #NewITRules
ASG: These were the grounds urged before this court by the petitioners. My submission is as on today there is no urgency to stay the rules. No adverse action is taken against the petitioners herein. It is their own case that they have complied with the new rules. #NewITRules
#BombayHighCourt bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni to hear petitions challenging #NewITRules. The pleas filed by @TheLeaflet_in & @waglenikhil claim the new rules are an assault on free speech.

#BombayHighCourt hearing petitions challenging recently notified Rules to the Information Technology Act.
Hearing before Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni #ITAct
Former Additional Solicitor General Darius Khambata arguing for one of the petitioners - The new amended Rules have a chilling effect on the freedom of speech. The Regulations are so vague that it can haul up anyone for publishing anything online.
Khambata - Ex facie the new rules are ultra vires of the IT Act which seeks to regulate publishing on electronic media. Original IT Act didnt purport to regulate content.
