Mouthshut.com v. Union of India
''MouthShut.com v. Union of India'' was a writ petition in the Supreme Court of India filed by the consumer review social media company Mouthshut.com to protect freedom of speech and expression on Internet. It argued against Sec. 66A and prayed for modifications or nullification of IT Rules of the Information Technology Act of India. The Supreme Court, in a historic judgement on March 24, 2015, ruled in favor of the petitioner(s) and repealed Sec. 66A, declaring it as unconstitutional and ordered reading down of various other sections of the IT Act. As a result, Internet users are free to post anything online and publishers cannot be forced to take down content without a court order. 〔 http://supremecourtofindia.nic.in/FileServer/2015-03-24_1427183283.pdf 〕
==Significance==
The lawsuit and its proceedings were monitored by online Intermediaries, ISPs, telecom service providers and social media companies in India as well as overseas. According to the Center for Communication Governance, "this is one of the case under which India’s Supreme Court will define contours of free speech online." The case was clubbed along with a petition filed by Shreya Singhal a law student, challenging India's IT Act's section 66A. Because the hearing for all the petitions challenging the IT Act were clubbed together by a Supreme Court order, the matter is sometimes also referred as Shreya Singhal case.〔 https://ccgnludelhi.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/notes-of-proceedings-i-shreya-singhal-v-union-of-india-w-p-crl-no-1672012/ 〕 Before the verdict, CNN reported that "...Mouthshut.com has taken its case to the country's Supreme Court to protect what it says are the rights of Indian citizens and consumers enshrined by the Indian constitution." 〔 http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/16/asia/india-internet-freedom/ 〕
