X Corp v Union of India — Sahyog portal (WP 7405/2025)

High Court of Karnataka; Supreme Court appeal announced

X argued MeitY’s Sahyog portal used IT Act s 79(3)(b) to dodge the stricter s 69A blocking procedure from Shreya Singhal. On 24 September 2025 the Karnataka High Court upheld Sahyog and said a foreign company cannot claim Article 19 protections. X said it would appeal to the Supreme Court of India.

At stake

Whether India can run mass takedowns through an administrative portal instead of formal 69A blocking orders.

Outcome. Lost at the High Court. Appeal to the Supreme Court announced.

X (Twitter) v Union of India — WP 13710/2022

High Court of Karnataka

X challenged account-level blocking under IT Act s 69A. The High Court held the government may block entire accounts, not only individual posts, and dismissed the petition, citing delay in compliance.

At stake

Account-wide blocking versus tweet-level blocking under s 69A.

Outcome. Petition dismissed. Account-level 69A blocks stand.
