The Supreme Court of India overturned the Delhi High Court’s orders for removing allegedly defamatory edits on Asian News International’s Wikipedia page. The Court noted the lack of clarity in the takedown orders and permitted ANI to seek specific interim relief. It emphasized that injunctions must be precise and enforceable.
The Delhi High Court,on Thursday(14th Nov) led by Justice Subramonium Prasad, issued summons to users accused of making defamatory edits on the ANI Wikipedia page. Following a consent order with ANI, Wikipedia agreed to serve summons confidentially without revealing user identities. The next hearing is scheduled for December 16.
