X Corp plea on blocking orders: Karnataka HC asks Centre to respond on suggestion for fresh consideration

The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday indicated that it may send back the matter relating to blocking orders issued against X Corp (formerly Twitter Inc) if the central government is willing to reconsider. A division bench comprising Justices G Narendar and Vijayakumar A Patil observed this after the counsel for appellant X Corp stated it would continue to keep the content blocked if the union government considers the entire matter and passes the order.

At the hearing, the counsel for the multi-blogger platform submitted that until the union government passes an order they will keep the content blocked.
