Bengaluru judicial orders regarding social media content

Overview

Courts in Bengaluru have issued several directives to social media platforms to regulate and remove specific digital content.

In one instance, the 59th Sessions Court issued notices to platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X to address the unauthorized circulation of videos from the Renukaswamy murder case proceedings. The court ordered the removal of footage depicting trial proceedings and directed police to pursue legal action, including contempt of court charges, against those recording or disseminating live trial content.

In a separate matter, a civil court issued an ad-interim ex parte order against content creator Jayant Shilanjan Mundhra to prevent the publication of allegedly defamatory statements concerning Embassy Developments Limited. The court directed Meta Platforms Inc and Google to block access to a specific video within India and to remove any re-uploads, clips, or translations of the content within 24 hours.
