Bombay High Court Rejects Stay on Notifying Fact Check Units Under IT Rules
The Bombay High Court, with Justice AS Chandurkar presiding, declined to grant further stay on notifying Fact Check Units (FCU) under the Information Technology (IT) rules. Justice Chandurkar emphasized that the notification of FCUs would not cause irreversible harm and noted the absence of a demonstrated grave and irreparable loss. The petitions challenging Rule 3(1)(b)(v) of the IT Rules, filed by stand-up comic Kunal Kamra and others, were referred to Justice Chandurkar after a split verdict by a division bench.
