Whatsapp group administrators are not responsible for the content posted

In a welcome move, the Delhi High Court recently ruled that Whatsapp group administrators are not responsible for the content posted on the group by other members. The judgment follows an increasing attempt to impose responsibility on group administrators throughout India, evidenced by several arrests made of administrators for objectionable posts since the last year. The effect of this judgement, unfortunately, is limited to the territorial jurisdiction of the Delhi High Court. Hopefully, this judgement will encourage other states to take a similar approach.
