Delhi High Court Asks Twitter To Reveal Details Of Users Sharing Content Of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday ordered Twitter to reveal basic subscriber information, including e-mails, IP addresses and phone numbers, of some of its users who are reportedly spreading snippets from Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Jawan’.

Following a lawsuit filed by the film’s producer, Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt Ltd, the court previously ordered YouTube, Twitter and Reddit to immediately block and remove any unauthorised broadcast of the film’s footage and clips.

The plaintiff’s counsel claimed that five accounts were publishing infringing content on Twitter and demanded that individuals “leaking this have access” to the company’s system and the identities of those account users be revealed.

Justice C Hari Shankar said, “The court directs defendant no 2 (Twitter) to provide information of the accounts with advance service to the counsel of the plaintiff so that the plaintiff can take appropriate action”.

In April, the court ordered that no stills, songs, audio and video clips relating to ‘Jawan’ be copied, recorded, shown or released without a legitimate licence.

It also instructed YouTube, Twitter and Reddit to quickly prohibit and remove any infringing content or footage pointed to by the production house.

The interim order was issued in response to a petition filed by the production house seeking to prevent various rogue websites, ISPs and others, who provide platforms through which content can be uploaded on the internet, from broadcasting or airing any part of ‘Jawan’, which was produced by the plaintiff and in which it claims to copyright.

The plaintiff claimed that snippets and stills from the film are currently available on the internet through multiple platforms, despite the fact that no licence to broadcast or transmit any part of the film has been issued to any entity.

The film will be released in theatres on September 7, 2023.
