Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The petitioner was Shreya Singhal. In Shreya Singhal v. Union of India, the Supreme Court struck down section 66A of the Information Technology Act because its vague and overbroad restrictions violated freedom of speech and were not justified by Article 19(2). The similar-sounding name Shreyashi Singhal is incorrect.
