Justice Manoj Jain ruled there was a clear connection between Balyan and the syndicate's members and leader. In a separate order, the court directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to start a pilot dog sterilisation and vaccination camp in one ward each. The High Court also ruled that special NIA courts must individually assess threats before declaring witnesses 'protected' under UAPA. It quashed FIRs against AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar for a 2021 Tiranga Yatra during Covid restrictions. Additionally, the court ordered Meta to remove AI-generated videos falsely linking former Union Minister Saleem Iqbal Shervani to gangster Atiq Ahmed. The court exempted X Corp from appearing in a film producers' defamation suit. ## Coverage - livelaw.in - livelaw.in - livelaw.in Tags: AAP, AI videos, Delhi High Court, MCOCA, stray dogs, UAPA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-high-court-weekly-round-up-bail-denied-firs-quashed-meta-ordered-to-takedown-ai-videos/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
