Alphabet Inc. Google is famous for its rich content and monopoly on the search web the internet posted some content against the tradition of Indian culture, and Indian Spices and posted some content on YouTube in which it defamed Indian Spices.

Delhi High Court directed the counsel of the company to take down the videos that showed the defamation of the Indian Spices. These videos include the so famous brands of India like “catch” and alleged that these spices from India contain cow’s dung and urine.

The court was easily convinced with the motive of creating and uploading such videos on the internet was solely to defame the Indian brand and that such an act is a “deliberate attempt to defame and disparage” the plaintiff’s goods bearing the ‘Catchmark.

High Court Justice stated “A perusal of the comments to said YouTube videos shows that members of the public are being influenced and led into believing such false statements, causing grave prejudice to the plaintiff (Dharampal Satyapal Sons). Considering the easy and unrestricted access, there is a high probability that the defamatory videos could be shared/seen by a large number of unsuspecting members of the public,” said Justice Sanjeev Narula.

The counsel of Google stated in front of the justice that as per the judicial direction, some of the videos were already removed by YouTube and now those videos no longer exist in the platform.

“Their malafide is further manifested by their inaction in removing the infringing content from YouTube after the plaintiff had raised a complaint, which was duly acknowledged by defendant no 2,” said the court.

Added more “However, in case defendant No 1 comes to the conclusion that the content is not identical to the impugned videos that have been injected, they shall inform the plaintiff of the same, within a period of one week from the date of the receipt of the request, where after plaintiff shall be free to take recourse to appropriate measures available under law.”
