History

Historical Context

India’s Information Technology Act, enacted in 2000, added Section 66A, permitting fines up to INR5 lakh for offensive online posts. After a 2012 PIL by Shreya Singhal and a Supreme Court ruling on 24 March 2015 that declared the provision unconstitutional, the law’s legacy still influences cases like Sunita Ahuja’s 2025-26 Instagram dispute with Kashmera Shah, showing courts may invoke the Act in celebrity defamation.
