Delhi HC tells Twitter, Google to take down articles about EbixCash

The Delhi High Court has directed Twitter and Google to take down cetrain articles published by Viceroy Research Group. The articles had defamatory content against EbixCash World Money, an on-demand software supplying company. The court has also issued notice to the research group and will hear the matter on September 4.

EbixCash had approached the high court with a plea that Viceroy Research Group had published certain articles on its website which contained defamatory information about the former. EbixCash had alleged that Viceroy Research, which holds “short selling” positions in the company and its sister concerns, was using these defamatory articles to drive down the price of the company, and thereby making profit from it.
