Wikipedia's parent company, Wikimedia Foundation, has challenged a Delhi High Court order to remove alleged defamatory content against news agency ANI.
Wikimedia has sought an appeal before a larger bench of the Delhi HC. The case has been postponed to a later date.
ANI accused Wikipedia of allowing defamatory edits on ANI's Wikipedia pages and is seeking an apology and INR 2 Cr in damages.
This is not the first instance of foreign digital platforms facing scrutiny in India; earlier cases include Maharashtra Cyber Cell registering a case against four Wikipedia editors over objectionable content.
