News # 1: Ban porn sites or lose license: High Court to ISPs

The Uttarakhand High Court has asked the Centre to impose a strict ban on pornographic websites, after taking cognisance of recent reports that a girl was gangraped in a Dehradun school by her school mates allegedly after watching porn clips. A division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Rajiv Shara and Justice Manoj Tiwari has issued directives for internet service providers (ISPs) to implement the ban. The ISPs violating this direction will lose their licence as per Section 25 of the Information Technology Act 2000, the High Court said.
