The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed the Union Government's Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC) to decide complaints and an appeal seeking removal of several YouTube videos, and other online publications allegedly containing false, derogatory and inflammatory content concerning Shirdi Sai Baba.
The plea alleges that the content has the potential to promote religious hostility and communal disharmony.
The Court also remarked that it will direct the Government to treat as a representation the plea filed by Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi.
The Trust has sought directions to YouTube to disable access to, remove, delist or otherwise make unavailable the identified videos and publications.
According to the petition, several YouTube channels began publishing the allegedly objectionable material around March.
