‘Will take down posts against Gaurav Bhatia in 24 hrs’: CJP's Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka to Delhi HC
Counsels appearing for Das and Ranka told the Court that they would take down the disputed posts. The Court recorded their statements and directed that the posts be removed within 24 hours.
CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have pledged to delete social media posts alleging that BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia referred to Swatantra Bhardwaj as "dimagi naxali" and "jaatiwaadi," according to LiveLaw. The Delhi High Court recorded their assurance and directed the posts be removed within 24 hours. Bhatia appeared in person before the Court to address the defamation suit filed by him, which seeks ₹2 crore in damages.
The case stems from an AI-generated graphic alleging remarks from Bhatia that he did not make, featuring his photograph alongside the false statement. The Court has granted Bhatia the ability to demand removal of the fabricated content and similar material from social media platforms.
