Delhi HC Stays Centre's Order, Directs Restoration of Prateek Sharma's X Account
•The Delhi High Court on Monday (April 6) stayed the government's order to block the entire X account of influencer Prateek Sharma, known as Dr Nimo Yadav.
•The court directed that Sharma's account be restored and emphasized that principles of natural justice must be followed, granting him a hearing before a Review Committee.
•Only specific posts flagged by the government are to remain blocked, not the entire account.
•The Centre had ordered the blocking of Sharma's X account under Section 69A of the IT Act, citing the spread of "false narratives" about the Prime Minister and content against the nation's sovereignty, integrity, or security.
