The Bombay High Court has directed Meta Platforms Inc. and other social media platforms to forthwith remove allegedly defamatory posts targeting Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Jairam Gadkari over the E20 fuel policy, observing that the material is "per se defamatory", "plainly abusive and vile" and has no place on public platforms. Counsel further submitted that additional offending material had surfaced even after the institution of the suit, prompting the plaintiff to seek amendment of the plaint and interim application, which the Court allowed. According to the Court, it is only the concerned social media platforms that can stem such damage by promptly removing plainly abusive, vulgar and vile content. 1 to 3 to immediately pull down all offending material identified in Exhibit "C" to the plaint. Case Title: Nitin Jairam Gadkari v Meta Platforms Inc & Ors.
