It is pertinent to note that the matter was postponed 9 times in 64 days on appellant\u2019s request. The appellant tried to shield behind SPEECH Act (US statute), contending that the post was uploaded from outside India, and the said Act restrains the appellants to disclose the identity of the uploader until directed in terms the Act. Further, the appellant submitted that compliance with the injunction order was not possible due to technological reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court, while considering the submissions, noted that the appellant did not challenge the injunction order and thus it had attained finality. The position that the post was uploaded from outside India was never disputed during the passing of the order. Further, on the contention of \u2018technological reasons\u2019 was also rejected and it was noted that \u201ccontents can never be master of the vehicle or platform on which they are posted\u201d. The Court held that there was no merit in the appeal and was liable to be dismissed. However, the appellant sought to withdraw the appeal. The Court noted the fact of postponement of the matter 9 times as mentioned above and thought it right that the judicial time consumed should be set at naught. Accordingly, the appellant was directed to pay Rs 50,000 per hearing as costs. The appeal was dismissed as withdrawn.
