Plea challenges IT rules on digilocker: HC seeks Centre stand

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Monday sought response of the Centre on a plea challenging the IT rules pertaining to operation of digilocker, government’s online document storage facility app, on the ground that it does not have a nomination facility.

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar issued notice to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) and sought its stand on the petition which contends that not allowing a user to nominate a successor or heir to operate the facility on her/his death was “arbitrary” and “unconstitutional”.
