Delhi High Court ordered Twitter to take down the defamatory posts of Dr Vikram Sampath
Dr Audrey Truschke posted a series of defamatory posts against Dr Vikram Sampath alleging that his recent work “SARVAKAR echoes from the forgotten past” is plagiarized content. Dr Vikram Sampath filed an application before Delhi high court seeking an ad interim injunction relief against defendants from posting defamatory posts about the plaintiff. Delhi high court on 24th February 2022 granted an ad-interim injunction in favour of the plaintiff and directed Twitter to remove the defamatory Twitter posts against Vikram Sampath in the Twitter handle.
Facts of the case:
Delhi high relying upon the order of 18th February 2022 directed that
i) Defendant No 1,2 and 3 are restrained from posting the letter dated 15th February 2022 and the email dated 14th February 2022 or any other defamatory material in respect of the plaintiff on Twitter, Facebook or any other online or offline platform
ii) Defendants No.4 is also directed to take down the tweets posted by defendant No.1 against the plaintiff within 36 hours from the passing of this order.
To conclude as the plaintiff had a balance of convenience and not granting ad interim injunction would have caused irreparable loss to the plaintiff. Hence the order of Delhi high court in restraining the defendants from further posting defamatory remarks against the plaintiff is an appropriate decision.
