Delhi HC Orders Restoration Of Cockroach Janta Party's X Account

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed restoration of the X (formerly Twitter) account of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), noting that the primary concern cited by the Union Government for blocking the account no longer survived as the NEET examination had concluded. 

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma allowed the petition filed by Abhijeet Dipke challenging the blocking of the party's X account and ordered that the account be



unblocked.

The Court observed that the Centre's principal apprehension, which had formed the basis of the blocking action, was linked to the conduct of the NEET examination. 

Since the examination was now over, the Court held that the concern was no longer relevant and directed the restoration of the account. Dipke had approached the High Court challenging the blocking of the Cockroach Janta Party's X account and sought its immediate restoration.
