Delhi HC: 'Controversial Content Even on Mars,' Justice Gedela's Sharp Remark in Aniruddhacharya Case

• Delhi High Court heard a petition by religious preacher Aniruddhacharya seeking removal of objectionable content against him on social media.
• Justice Tushar Rao Gedela remarked, "Controversial content is even on Mars... The question is, who is watching it here?" during a debate on jurisdiction.
• Aniruddhacharya's lawyer claimed AI-generated 'deepfake' content makes it appear he is making controversial statements, damaging his image.
• The court questioned why the case was filed in Delhi, suggesting other state courts are competent and convenience isn't a valid argument.
• Justice Gedela emphasized that public figures should be 'above criticism, praise, and recognition,' and not every criticism is defamation.
