The High Court also observed that the content in question was “absolutely abusive and vile fuelling venom”. The lawyers representing Meta Platforms and Google LLC have assured that they would take down the material in question. Accepting their assurance, the High Court directed the defendant platforms to furnish the information of the subscribers who have posted the offending material. Therefore, I am satisfied that the applicant [Nitin Gadkari] has made out a case for the grant of ad-interim relief,” Justice Arif S Doctor noted in the order. The High Court was hearing an interim application by Nitin Gadkari, seeking immediate relief in his suit against Meta Platforms, X Corp, Google LLC, among others, including John Doe (all unknown persons), seeking the removal of the “defamatory” content.
