Raghavan: what is the law of country. We are saying its codified in 69A IT act. Please act as per 69A. Acd to us SC in shreya singhal has laid down law that 79(3)(b) is only a companion provision of 69A.
Raghavan reads prayer in the petition.
‘The prayers dont affect adversely concerns expressed by UOI. Nobody can say I will act against laws of country. In so far as information that is posted on platform, question arises what is the law of the country?’
HC: (your) headquarters are in Texas.
Raghavan: we operate all over the world. Internet is seemless
HC: you will take an hour?
Raghavan: Yes. they have filed a reply. I will show that prima facie case for interim protection is made out…please look at prayer in petition.
Matter is called.
Sr Adv KG Raghavan appears for @X
: this matter involves interplay between section 79 and 69A of IT Act. It is our case that independent action under 79 will not lie
