A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and MM Sundresh closed the petition after Senior Advocate Arvind Datar pointed out that even the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) had found nothing wrong in the use of the application.
“This does not survive. Even courts use zoom … MEITY has said nothing wrong with Zoom. And why only target us, not WebEx etc?”, Datar argued.
The Court, in turn, proceeded to close the case.
“We reject the IA to place additional documents. Matter is accordingly closed,” the Court recorded in its order.
