Supreme Court strikes down Section 66A of the IT Act as unconstitutionally vague and a disproportionate curb on free speech
A bench of Justices J. Chelameswar and R.F. Nariman unanimously held that Section 66A's core terms — "grossly offensive," "annoyance," "inconvenience" — lacked any manageable standard and swept far beyond the permissible restrictions on free speech under Article 19(2).
