Delhi HC Backs Centre's Telegram Ban, Calls It 'Well-Founded' Ahead of NEET Retest
Times of India·Friday, 19 June 2026
The Delhi High Court dismissed a challenge to the central government's temporary ban on Telegram, saying the order was well-founded. The government issued the ban under the IT Act to prevent cheating rackets from using the platform ahead of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination. The ban stays in effect until June 22.

If you're sitting the NEET retest or know someone who is, this directly affects which apps are accessible. It also sets a precedent for the government blocking major platforms under the IT Act.
