The Delhi High Court has directed a social media account to promptly delete a viral post targeting advocate and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Gaurav Bhatia. The order came after his appearance on a television news programme triggered widespread online reactions.
The Delhi High Court refused to grant interim relief to YSRCP leader and former TTD chairman YV Subba Reddy in a defamation case over media reports on the Tirupati laddu adulteration controversy.
The Court held that restraining the media without hearing them is justified only in exceptional cases and allowed the matter to proceed after pleadings.
The Delhi High Court has mandated Baba Ramdev to submit a written promise not to make offensive comments about competitors, particularly Hamdard. This follows his derogatory remarks in a promotional video for Patanjali’s Gulab Sharbat. Ramdev’s actions prompted strong criticism from the Court, which seeks assurance of compliance by May 9.
Baba Ramdev faced criticism for using communal language against Hamdard’s Rooh Afza, claiming funds were used for religious buildings. After a Delhi High Court reprimand, he agreed to remove the videos and avoid future disparaging remarks, ensuring compliance while a police complaint regarding religious hatred remains pending. The case proceeds on May 1.
