Delhi HC gives MeitY 4 weeks to decide on Gamban blocking order

The Delhi High Court ordered India's Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) to decide within four weeks on the Section 69A blocking of UK anti-gambling app Gamban. Justice Amit Mahajan refused further time, saying MeitY must decide itself regardless of input from nodal agencies I4C and MHA.

• Gamban has been blocked in India since February 7, 2023, alongside a batch of gambling apps
• Court gave MeitY 4 weeks and said it should give Gamban a hearing
• MeitY cited pending input from I4C and MHA; the court rejected the delay
• Gamban filed its writ petition on July 9, 2026, naming only the Union of India
