Karnataka High Court squashing Tweeter’s petition against the Centre
Bengaluru (Karnataka) – The Karnataka High Court has dismissed a petition filed by Twitter Inc on Friday challenging several blocking and take-down orders issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, saying the company’s plea was devoid of merits and the Centre had the right to block tweets and put a ban on the company. The Division Bench of Justice Krushna S Dixit has moreover imposed a fine of ₹50 lakh on the company asking to pay it within 45 days, failing which tweeter will have to pay an additional fine of ₹ 5,000 per day.
