Calcutta High Court bars publication, sharing of video on PM Modi, Gautam Adani till January 31

The Calcutta High Court has issued an injunction barring the publication, uploading, and sharing of a documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani until January 31, 2027. The injunction was granted after Adani Enterprises Limited filed a plea against tech entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia and others, alleging defamation.

The court has ordered social media platforms, including YouTube, X, and Instagram, to remove the video and any related content from their platforms. The injunction does not restrict constructive criticism or fair reporting on the Adani Group or government policies, but rather focuses on the specific defamatory statements contained in the video.

The court has directed the respondents to remove the video and preserve subscriber information, which will be disclosed in a sealed cover by an affidavit within two weeks of communication of the order.
