The High Court of Uttarakhand directed Internet Service Providers to block the publication/transmission of all obscene material in electronic form, including child pornography under Rule 3(2)(b,c) of the Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines) Rules, 2011. Further, it directed the Ministry of Communications and IT to suspend the Internet Service Licenses of those intermediaries that failed block pornographic websites. The issue arose in September 2018 when the High Court of Uttarakhand (India) took notice of newspaper articles, which reported that a student was raped in the premises of a local school after the culprits had watched pornographic movies together. The Court sought measures that could help counter a rise in sexual violence against minors. The full name of the case is: In Re: In the matter of incidence of gang rape in a boarding school, situated in Bhauwala, District Dehradun v. State of Uttarakhand
