The Bombay High Court has directed Meta (owner of Facebook, WhatsApp) and other defendants to remove online posts linking jewellery brand Malabar Gold and Diamonds to Pakistan. [ Malabar Gold Vs Meta].

“A case is made out for grant of ad-interim injunction in favour of the Plaintiff for pulling down the posts… Defendant Nos.1 to 7 on whose platforms defamatory material is being published against the Plaintiff, deserves to be restrained from permitting publication of any further defamatory material,” the order dated September 29 said.
