Bengaluru court Issues Injunction Against Fake News On Toxic

A Bengaluru court has passed an ex parte temporary injunction restraining the publication or circulation of any false or defamatory content against the actor Yash-starrer movie 'Toxic', which released on Wednesday. 

The Additional City Civil and Sessions Court passed the interim order on August 22 on a suit filed by production house KVN Productions LLP against various defendants, including X Corp.

"On perusal of all the documents produced by the



plaintiff, I found that there is a prima facie case in favour of the plaintiff; the balance of convenience lies in favour of plaintiff. If the T.I (Temporary Injunction) is not granted, the very purpose of filing this suit will be defeated and it may amount to a multiplicity of proceedings. 

Therefore, without allowing the IA (Interlocutory Application) No. 1, as an interim measure for the limited period it can be granted on certain conditions," the Judge said in the order.
