The new IT Rules gives the government “unfettered power” in absence of any “guidelines and guardrails”, the Bombay High Court observed on Tuesday, while hearing petitions challenging the amendments, NDTV reported.
The division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale also questioned the government over the need for the amendment and the provision for a separate fact check unit despite the establishment of the Press Information Bureau fact check.
