Delhi High Court orders Wikipedia to take down page on ongoing case filed by ANI

The Delhi High Court ordered Wikipedia to take down a page related to an ongoing defamation case filed by Asian News International (ANI). The court directed the Wikimedia Foundation to comply within 36 hours. ANI sued Wikipedia for defamation, alleging that the platform allowed defamatory edits describing ANI as a government propaganda tool. The court had previously ordered Wikipedia to disclose information about the editors involved, but Wikipedia’s non-compliance led to further legal action. The court emphasized that Wikipedia’s refusal to divulge details jeopardizes its intermediary protection under the Information Technology Act.
