'Attacking without verifying not correct': HC to CJP leader on Gaurav Bhatia post
The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the defendants in a defamation case filed by senior advocate and BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia whether they were willing to voluntarily take down the disputed social media posts, observing that there are different ways of protesting and that criticism should be expressed in a more articulate manner.
Delhi High Court questioned defendants in Gaurav Bhatia's defamation case on Thursday, asking if they would voluntarily remove disputed social media posts. The Court emphasized that criticism should be more articulate and expressed concern about the impact of the posts on Bhatia's reputation. Counsel for Abhijeet Dipke argued that no tweets were involved, and the Court indicated that Dipke could potentially be removed as a defendant.
The Court also requested instructions from other defendants' counsel regarding the removal of the disputed posts. Bhatia sought Rs 2 crore in damages and permanent injunctions, alleging that AI-generated graphics and his photograph were used to make false statements about him. The case involved claims that the defendants had amplified and published the defamatory content, leading to reputational damage.
