Delhi High Court seeks Centre response on steps taken to regulate obscene content on OTT

The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre to respond to a March 6 decision of the court wherein the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology was directed to take steps to enforce its rules on content containing obscene language with respect to intermediaries such as OTT platforms.

A single-judge bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma has in its April 12 order noted that the HC had rendered certain directions in its judgment on March 6 in a plea challenging orders directing for registration of an FIR against TVF Media Labs Pvt Ltd, the casting director of web series ‘College Romance’ and its lead actors.
