Indian Telegraph Act 1885

The need of the telegraph act is not present now as the only people who will use it will not utilize the telegraph to take India over. When this act was initially passed in the year 1885 the need then was still justified as there was no concept of televisions back then but now after being invoke by almost 5 times by Doordarshan over the right of telecasting matches played in India, it should definitely be removed now. Due to this act the telecast of 1996 World cup was almost at stake it was only because of Telecom Regulatory Act of 1994 which checks few provisions of The Telegraph Act that the mishaps of this act are saved. This act is yet to be revoked totally.
