Supreme Court asks Madras HC to decide on plea

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Madras high court to decide on April 24 a plea of “TikTok” mobile application seeking to vacate its ban order.

A bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said if the high court fails to decide the plea, then its ban order will stand vacated. The top court had earlier refused to intervene with the Madras HC order that directed the Centre to ban the TikTok app, which allows the users to create short videos and then share them, over concerns about access to pornographic content through it.
