The Delhi High Court Tuesday issued summons to Wikipedia on a suit filed by news agency ANI alleging that the widely-popular online encyclopaedia was allowing defamatory edits to their page on the platform. ANI is also believed to have played significant roles as allies of the Research and Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence agency; many of its videos depicted protests by fringe lobby groups and activists, on the aspects of human rights abuse in Pakistan." Further, such damage continues to be inflicted by virtue of the protection status according to the ANI Page, allowing one to access the false and defamatory content without the ability to modify or edit the same, thereby necessitating urgent intervention by this Hon'ble Court."
