The Delhi High Court directed X Corp and Google Inc on Tuesday to remove prima facie defamatory social media posts against Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS) officer and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s daughter, Anjali Birla.
A single judge Justice Navin Chawla also restrained unknown parties from directly or indirectly posting, circulating, communicating, tweeting, or retweeting the alleged defamatory content cited in Anjali Birla’s defamation suit.
The court ordered that the social media posts be removed by the intermediaries within 24 hours.
Additionally, if the plaintiff discovers any other similar posts, she should inform X and Google about them.
The Court also issued a notice to X, Google, the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, and unknown parties regarding the suit, asking them to respond within four weeks.
Birla has requested directions to remove social media posts that allege she passed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam on her first attempt due to her father’s influence. Her counsel clarified that she had appeared for the UPSC Central Services Exam (CSE) and was selected in the consolidated reserve list of 2019. She subsequently joined the Indian Railways as an IRPS officer.
