The Bombay High Court in Mumbai has mandated that social media platforms and domain registrars remove fake accounts impersonating the National Stock Exchange (NSE). This ruling follows a petition filed by NSE, which claimed trademark infringement and passing off against an unidentified individual referred to as John Doe. The court's order, issued by Justice Sharmila Deshmukh, emphasizes the potential risk to unsuspecting investors who may be misled into making substantial investments based on misleading content from these fraudulent accounts. The court granted interim relief to NSE, directing platforms like X Corp and Google LLC to eliminate infringing content in accordance with the Information Technology (IT) Rules. NSE's counsel argued that the defendants have allowed the creation of fake accounts that misrepresent the exchange, while Google LLC's representative contended that not all content on identified channels is related to the stock market, suggesting a need for notice to the YouTubers involved before further action is taken.
