New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday restrained sharing and posting of a “sexually explicit” video of a judicial officer and a woman that surfaced on November 29 and was circulated on social media platforms.
Justice Yashwant Varma, while allowing a plea to “conceal” the identity of the aggrieved party, said besides being in violation of several laws, circulation of the video would cause irreparable harm to the privacy rights of the petitioner, and an ad interim ex-parte injunction was therefore warranted.
The judge noted that the full court of the high court has itself taken cognisance of the incident on its administrative side, and pursuant to a resolution, its registrar general has conveyed to authorities the need to take appropriate action for blocking the video over all messaging and social media platforms as well as through internet service providers (ISPs).
