In this case, it is not a random party in the CloudFlare--GitHub connection (say a network operator in UK).

The snooping intermediary (Airtel) in this scenario is one that has a commercial relationship with CloudFlare and powers CloudFlare's network.

CloudFlare has been aware of this issue for years, but it hasn't done anything to get its vendor to fix their network.

Isn't the censorship applied by Airtel, Jio, etc, because of local laws?

I don't see how Cloudflare or any other provider can make Airtel "fix" the snooping when Airtel is forced by law to block those sites.

This seems to be a policy/government problem, not a Cloudflare or Airtel problem.

There is no court order to block neovim.io or teachyourselfcs.com.

Airtel isn’t forced to block these sites. It is blocking these because of a mis-configuration somewhere.
