The Delhi High Court on Thursday (November 14, 2024) issued summons to three individuals who allegedly edited the Wikipedia page of news agency Asian News International (ANI) in a defamation suit by it over “false, misleading, and defamatory contents in its page on the platform.
Justice Subramonium Prasad passed the order taking into consideration an order passed by the Division Bench of the High Court on November 11, allowing summons to be served on the three individual, who made the edits on the ANI page, without publicly disclosing their identity.
The ANI had complained that certain edits on the ANI page in Wikipedia claimed it as “propaganda tool for the incumbent government”.
