The Delhi High Court has summoned Wikipedia in response to a defamation suit filed by news agency ANI. The suit alleges that Wikipedia allowed defamatory edits on ANI's page, describing the agency as a "propaganda tool for the incumbent central government." ANI claims this description is defamatory and that Wikipedia restricted edits to their page. The court acknowledged ANI's concerns but noted Wikipedia's right to opinions. ANI's lawyer argued that Wikipedia selectively allows edits on the news agency's page. The court scheduled the next hearing for August 20 to examine the validity of the claims. ANI disputes statements on the Wikipedia page, including accusations of distributing fake news and misreporting events. The news agency highlighted damage to its reputation and harassment globally. Wikipedia is entitled to its opinions, and the court will assess the facts behind the claims in due course.
