Bengaluru Court Restrains Defamatory Content About Yash Film Toxic
The makers of a film called Toxic asked a Bengaluru court for help.
They were concerned that people might spread harmful or untrue information about the film.
The court looked at the documents they provided.
It said the makers appeared to have a valid case at this early stage.
The court also said it was more convenient and fair to protect the makers for now.
It therefore temporarily stopped unknown people and other defendants from sharing certain content.
The order covers posts, videos, streams and other ways of communicating.
The restriction applies both before and after the film is released.
This is a temporary order, not a final decision about the whole case.

A Bengaluru court granted an ex-parte temporary injunction against unknown people and other defendants.
The order covers communicating, publishing, circulating, sharing, posting, streaming or providing access to prohibited content.
