What Happened
Justice A H M Nawaz, a Sri Lankan Supreme Court judge, filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court seeking to remove allegedly defamatory online content about him. His counsel argued that litigating in Sri Lanka would undermine judicial credibility. Google opposed the petition, citing territorial jurisdiction limits. The Union Government noted an existing statutory grievance mechanism for content removal. The court scheduled further hearings for April 28.
