The court noted that the Plaintiff made out a prima facie case against the defendant for disparagement. Moreover, it also observed that in the instant case balance of convinence appears to be in the plaintiff’s favour.

Thus the court ordered the defendant or any their subordinates to refrain from publishing, reproducing, broadcasting , communicating to the public, screening, publishing, and distributing the material in issue on any media platform, including social media.
