The three allegations are<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Acts of corruption during demonetization;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Contracts assigned to plaintiffs&#8217; daughter;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Cash Payments made to weavers in Bihar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that all the allegations are unsubstantiated and have been made in a reckless manner without regard to the truth, in order to cause injury to the reputation of the plaintiff, the Court would be justified in granting an interim injunction. After suffering the brunt of such defamatory content, it is difficult to contemplate a complete restitution through damages and such cases demand immediate injunctive relief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was further noted that the plaintiff, being a Constitutional Authority, cannot meet the personal attacks being made by the defendants against him by taking resort to social media platforms and therefore, the only remedy available for the plaintiff to protect his reputation and prevent erosion of the same would be to approach the court of law and seek injunctive relief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that the damage caused to the reputation of an individual is immediate and far-reaching on the internet. Balance of convenience is in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendants. Grave and irreparable harm and injury would be caused to the reputation of the plaintiff if the aforesaid defamatory content continues to exist on the internet and the social media platforms of the defendants and defendants are permitted to continue making defamatory statements of this nature against the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court restrained the defendants and directed the defendants to delete\/remove all the defamatory or factually incorrect tweets, re-tweets, hashtags, videos of press conferences\/interviews, comments, captions and taglines against the plaintiff and\/or his daughter published on the social media platforms, failing which, defendant 7 and 8 are directed to take down such defamatory content available.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Vinai Kumar Saxena v.
