Meta: The Delhi High Court has ordered Meta and Telegram to provide the Basic Subscriber Information (BSI) and other relevant information of the groups or channels involved in leaking content from Shah Rukh Khan’s recent film, Jawan.
Delhi HC’s orders
Red Chillies Entertainments had brought a case against Rohit Sharma before the Delhi High Court. In addition to asking the two platforms to suspend or delete the groups and channels, the complainant claims that he was disseminating copyrighted content related to the movie without authorization. Sharma’s Instagram profile and Facebook page titled “Rohit movies,” as well as all of their content, have been ordered to be blocked by Meta, along with access to Sharma’s WhatsApp account.
As a result of Rohit Sharma and other people illegally copying the movie, Red Chillies has also reported them to the authorities at Mumbai’s Santa Cruz police Station. Within the next few days, the police may take action, and then it’s possible that the people who have been named will be arrested. Rohit Sharma was found by Red Chillies to have sold copies of the movie unlawfully for small money through WhatsApp, and the court issued a severe ruling against him. His Facebook and Instagram profiles, as well as his WhatsApp group, were ordered to be deleted by the court, and his WhatsApp number to be deactivated. When they are located, administrators of other WhatsApp groups and Telegram channels are likely to face a similar course of action.
What did the court say?
Justice Shankar stated after hearing the application, “The owners/controllers of the websites identified in Schedule ‘D’ are directed forthwith to desist from unauthorised copying, transmission, communication, or making available any content in which the plaintiff holds copyright, including content relating to the cinematographic film ‘Jawan’ or any part thereof.”
