\n

Rajasthan High Court:<\/span> In a writ petition filed under Article 226<\/a> of the Constitution of India<\/a> and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000<\/a>, and IT Rules, 2021 seeking urgent intervention from the Court to prevent the continued circulation of obscene video, involving petitioner 1’s daughter and petitioner 2’s husband on a social media platform, Instagram, without their consent, a single-judge bench of Ganesh Ram Meena, J., issued notices to the respondents and directed them to ensure that the alleged obscene video is not made available to viewers on social media platforms.<\/p>\n

The petitioners contended that an obscene video involving petitioner 1’s daughter and petitioner 2’s husband was made viral on Instagram, without their consent. The petitioners emphasised the violation of fundamental rights, particularly under Articles 14<\/a>, 19<\/a>, and 21<\/a> of the Constitution of India<\/a>. It was argued that the dissemination of such content amounts to a breach of privacy and dignity, infringing on the right to live with dignity enshrined in the Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Court issued notices to all the respondents. The Public Prosecutor accepted the notices on behalf of respondents 1 to 6 (State authorities). The Court directed the issuance of notices to respondents 7 to 12, including Meta India and government officials responsible for cyber security. The Court explicitly directed the respondents to ensure that the alleged obscene video is not made available to viewers on social media platforms.<\/p>\n

[Vimla Devi<\/span> v. State of Rajasthan<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Raj 824<\/a>, Decided on 27-03-2025<\/span>]<\/p>\n\n
