In a legal setback for the Cockroach Janta Party, the Delhi High Court on Friday declined to immediately direct restoration of the X account of Abhijeet Dipke-led Cockroach Janata Party (CJP).
The court found some content posted on the social media account to be “slightly offensive”, and refused to grant interim relief on the plea by founder Dipke. The court said that the issue required “holistic consideration” and that any order would be passed only after hearing what the government and the X platform has to say.
Abhijeet Dipke was represented by advocate Akhil Sibal, who sought the restoration of CJP’s X account, even as he said he was fine if some of the allegedly offensive posts remained blocked.
While the court refused to immediately grant relief in the case, it presented Dipke with an opportunity to present his case before the Centre’s review committee responsible for examining orders blocking social media accounts.
