The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice on a petition filed by Wikimedia Foundation against an order passed by the Delhi High Court directing the removal of a Wikipedia page and discussions related to ongoing defamation proceedings initiated by news agency Asian News International against Wikipedia. In the impugned order, a division bench of Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela of the Delhi High Court directed the takedown of a Wikipedia page titled "Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation.” The High Court took exception to comments on the page which it found to be prima facie contemptuous, particularly a statement that a judge had threatened to order the shutdown of Wikipedia in India. Following the removal of the contested Wikipedia page, the High Court also closed ANI's contempt plea against Wikimedia. Thereafter, the Single bench of the Delhi High Court issued summons to three individuals who allegedly edited ANI's Wikipedia page while dealing with the defamation suit filed by ANI against Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts the Wikipedia platform.
