Won’t notify fact checking unit for fake news against govt till July 5: Centre tells Bombay HC
PTI, Apr 27, 2023, 11:15 AM IST
The Union government told the Bombay High Court on Thursday that it will not notify till July 5, 2023 a fact checking unit to identify fake news against the government on social media under the recently amended Information Technology Rules.
A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale accepted the statement and said since the amended rules would be inoperable in the absence of a fact checking unit, no urgent hearing was required on stay of the rules as sought by stand-up comic Kunal Kamra.
The bench posted the petition filed by Kamra, challenging the constitutional validity of the rules, for hearing on June 8.
