CHENNAI: The Madras high court on Wednesday made it clear that it would not defer hearing of pleas challenging the validity of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, in the absence of any stay on the HC proceedings by the Supreme Court.
The first bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy made the observation as the Centre informed the court that a petition has been filed in the SC to transfer similar petitions pending before various high courts challenging the rules. “There is no stay on the proceedings. We can go ahead with the matter and decide. The SC will have the benefit of the opinion of the high court,” the bench said, refusing to defer the hearing.
