Delhi High Court issues contempt notice to Wikipedia for non-compliance with user disclosure order in defamation case.

The Delhi High Court has issued a contempt notice to Wikipedia following a petition from ANI Media Private Limited. ANI claims Wikipedia failed to comply with a court order to reveal the identities of users who made defamatory edits to its page. The court rejected Wikipedia's argument about its foreign status complicating compliance, emphasizing its obligation to adhere to Indian law. The court will decide on further actions regarding this non-compliance.
