Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court is the principal court in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, India. It is a high court with the power of judicial review. Recently, the court has been in the news for several significant rulings. In one instance, it rejected an appeal by the Telegram social media app against a temporary ban imposed by Indian authorities. This decision came after allegations that channels on the app were involved in selling leaked examination questions. In another notable development, the Delhi High Court granted bail to Khurram Parvez, a Kashmiri human rights activist who had been imprisoned for nearly five years. While this bail was for a "terror funding" case, Parvez remains in jail due to a separate case. These recent actions highlight the court's role in addressing critical legal matters, including national security concerns, allegations of exam malpractice, and human rights issues within India.
