“These posts, on the face of it, are abusive, vile and obscene,” the court said. Such posts should not have a place online where they can be accessed by everyone, especially the younger generation, it added. Gadkari said there were at least 24 such posts against him linking him to the E20 controversy, urging the court to remove them. The allegations made in the online posts are “false, malicious and grossly defamatory without an iota of doubt,” the suit stated, adding that it is designed to create a misleading public perception against Gadkari. He had also sought Rs 11 crore in damages for the defamatory content.
