New Delhi, Dec. 12 -- The Delhi High Court on Friday directed major social media intermediaries to act on a complaint filed by Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan regarding alleged violations of his personality rights.

Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora instructed the intermediaries to take a decision on the complaint within one week, emphasising that statutory grievance-redressal mechanisms must be utilised before the Court intervenes.

The Court further directed the plaintiff to submit all infringing links within two days and stated that if the intermediaries have any reservations, they may communicate them directly to the plaintiff. The matter will be taken up again on December 22.
