Court Rules In Favour Of Pawan Kalyan

The order came on June 11 from XVI Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge Mohammed Moinuddin. The case was filed by Kalyan against the tech firms and some unnamed people.

The court said the platforms and their teams must not publish, share, upload or show any statement, article or claim against the actor. This legal step was taken after a lot of talk online about alleged land and lake encroachment in Janwada, Telangana. Many videos and posts about the issue went viral and led to strong reactions on social media.

Earlier on June 10 the court gave an ad interim order to stop any defamatory content about the Janasena leader. Later Kalyan’s team asked the court to add specific links and URLs where such posts were found. The judge agreed and said it was needed to make the order work in real life. The court noted the disputed material included articles, videos and statements about water bodies and public land.

The order was partly changed to cover the exact links pointed out by Kalyan. The next hearing in the case is set for July 24. The move is being watched closely as it shows how courts are dealing with online content and defamation cases involving public figures.
