Delhi High Court seeks Twitter's response on lawsuit filed by Abhijit Iyer Mitra over 'inaccessible' account
The HinduThe Delhi High Court on November 1 sought Twitter's response on a lawsuit filed by Abhijit Iyer Mitra, seeking restoration of his account on the website that has been "unilaterally banned" and made inaccessible to his followers. In his plea, Mr. Iyer said following his tweet in relation to the bail granted by the Supreme Court to Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair in a criminal case, Twitter "unilaterally" banned his account, thereby making it "completely inaccessible" for him to engage with his 1.5 lakh followers on the platform. I had merely disclosed who put surety for the bail of Mohammed Zubair, given by the Supreme Court in July, and merely on the basis of this tweet, my access to my Twitter followers has been curtailed, without following the procedure laid down under the IT rules," he said. Representing Twitter in the matter, senior advocate Sajan Poovayya sought time from the court to file a short affidavit in response to the lawsuit and said the plaintiff's account was not "banned" but was in the "read-only mode" and that his grievance could be redressed if he took down the said tweet.
