ANI has filed a defamation suit against YouTuber Mohak Mangal in the Delhi High Court, accusing him of making false claims of extortion and copyright misuse. The suit also includes comedian Kunal Kamra and activist Mohammed Zubair for sharing Mangal’s video, which ANI claims harms its reputation and misuses its trademarks.
The Supreme Court of India ruled in favor of Wikipedia, dismissing defamation claims by ANI and emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression and judicial transparency. The decision supports digital free speech, allowing public scrutiny of ongoing cases while clarifying judicial limits on media content regulation, fostering a robust democratic environment.
