Shreya Singhal vs U.O.I

The Supreme Court declared Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 unconstitutional, holding it violates the fundamental right to free speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the provisions of Section 66A are vague and overbroad, leading to arbitrary enforcement, thus failing the test of reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2). The judgment effectively nullified the provision, reinforcing the protection of free speech in the digital realm.
