The Delhi High Court on Wednesday declined to grant interim relief to Telegram against the Centre's temporary ban on the messaging platform. The government blocked Telegram until 22 June, citing concerns that leaked NEET-UG exam papers were being shared through the app. The Centre said it had repeatedly warned Telegram about misuse of its platform but received no effective response. Telegram argued that the ban harms millions of users and its business operations. The court has sought the government's reply and will hear the case again on 18 June. The NEET-UG re-examination is scheduled for 21 June.
