Hearing a bunch of petitions against the amended Information Technology Rules, the Bombay high court has reportedly observed that if the effect of a rule or law is unconstitutional then it has to go – no matter how laudable or high the motives are.
According to a PTI report, a division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale was hearing petitions filed by stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, the Editors Guild of India and the Association of Indian Magazines, which termed the rules as arbitrary and unconstitutional.
