Event Summary

The India — Delhi High Court ordered the restoration of the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal's X account on July 7, 2026, after the India — India withdrew its objection. The account had been blocked on May 21, 2026, under Section 69A of the IT Act, citing concerns that posts could create chaos among students and parents ahead of the NEET re-exam. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the court that the reason for blocking no longer existed since the exam was over. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma revoked the blocking order, allowing the petition filed by CJP founder Cockroach Janta Party. The CJP is a satirical online movement that emerged after Chief Justice Surya Kant's remarks about 'cockroaches'.
