A divisional bench of the Karnataka High Court (HC) on Thursday reportedly directed X (formerly Twitter) to deposit INR 25 Lakh within a week to stay the earlier INR 50 Lakh penalty imposed on the microblogging platform in June. In June, a single-judge bench of the HC had quashed the social media platform’s plea challenging a slew of blocking orders issued by the IT Ministry.
