Twitter has not complied with the new IT rules citing freedom of expression that the government is trying to suppress.
Whatsapp has sued the Government of India in the
Delhi High Court against the new IT rules that as it infringes upon the fundamental right to privacy without satisfying the three-part test set forth by the Supreme Court
of legality, necessity and proportionality; it violates the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression and the requirement to enable identification of the first originator of the information is ultra vires its parent statutory provision, Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The Wire and other prominent digital media outlets have also approached the high court against the new IT rules as the entire Part III of the [IT] Rules that seeks to set up a regulatory mechanism for digital media is ultra vires the [IT] Act. And if allowed to stand it would be so arbitrary and unwarranted an intrusion on expression, as to render it ultra vires the Act on that score alone or throw a doubt upon the validity of the parent act, according to the petition.

The Mehul Choksi Conspiracy
The fugitive billionaire diamond magnate wanted in connection with the Rs14,356.84 crore PNB scam, Mehul Choksi is in jail in Dominica pending hearing by the Court. Indians are trying to piece the story together as with all his wealth, the diamond merchant was living since three years in Antigua and Barbuda in the Caribbean with no extradition laws in place to bring him to India.
On May 23, Mehul Choksi was visiting his friend Barbara Jarabica’s apartment from where he was kidnapped.
He was locked in the hold of a St. Lucia registered yacht, the Calliope of Arne.
The yacht docked in Dominica where the police were waiting to arrest him.
Passenger manifests of the yacht show Gurjit Bhandal, a resident of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, and Gurmit Singh, an Indian national.
