Delhi Directs

• The Delhi High Court has ordered the Central Government to restore the X account of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical digital outfit. • The account was withheld in India on May 21, shortly after the group launched on May 15 following controversial remarks by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant. • This ruling emphasizes the protection of political satire and free speech against government-led digital censorship.

• The Delhi High Court ordered the restoration of the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) X account on Tuesday, revoking a blocking order issued by the Central government. • The ruling follows a directive from the court for the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) review committee to examine the case, allowing CJP founder Dipke to appear virtually. • This decision represents a significant legal victory for the party, as it challenges the government's authority to block social media accounts without sufficient review.
