Delhi High Court Seeks Response on Restrictions of 'Bring Back Ballot' Instagram Account
The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the Centre and Meta regarding a petition challenging the restriction of the Instagram account 'Bring Back Ballot', which advocates for paper ballots in elections. The petition, filed by Mission Save Constitution and lawyer Mehmood Pracha, alleges that blocking the account with over 50,000 followers on the day of a planned peaceful protest was disproportionate and lacked prior notice. The court has scheduled a hearing for November 6 to consider the matter.
