Section 66 A of IT Act unconstitutional, Supreme Court rules

Supreme Court Supreme Court[/caption] The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked Section 66 A of the Information and Technology Act, which allows police to arrest people on the basis of what they post on the facebook, twitter and internet. The court said Section 66 A was unconstitutional because it failed two major tests – the clear and present danger test and the tendency to create public disorder test. Section 66A of the IT Act is a relevant section which penalizes �sending false and offensive messages through communication services�.
