About Section 66A of IT Act
The Supreme Court on Monday expressed shock and displeasure on being told that over 1,000 cases had been filed under Section 66A of the IT Act – a controversial law that allowed police to arrest people for posting “offensive” content online – since it was struck down seven years ago.
Sec 66A was scrapped by the top court on March 24, 2015. In a landmark judgement, the court described the now-defunct law as “vague”, “unconstitutional” and a “violation of free speech”.
“It is shocking. We will issue notice,” a three-member bench of Justices R Nariman, KM Joseph and BR Gavai said. Justice Nariman added: “Amazing. What is going on is terrible.”
