The Bombay High Court on March 11 refused to issue an interim stay on the formation of a Fact-Check Unit (FCU) by the Union government.
A single-judge Bench of Justice A.S. Chandurkar, the tie-breaker judge in the case after a split verdict was delivered by the court on January 31, said “no case was made out” for the Union government to continue its position that “it would not notify the FCU pending hearing of petitions” against the IT Rules.
