The Bombay High Court warns businessman Vijay Mallya against posting court documents and related filings on social media. The court’s warning follows allegations from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that Mallya shared an ED affidavit online before it is formally placed on record.
According to reporting, the ED lawyer tells the court that Mallya uploaded the affidavit on social media even before it was submitted to the court. NDTV adds specific timing details: the ED files the affidavit on September 8 and serves it to Mallya’s legal team the same day, in the context of the court proceedings. Mint similarly describes the court’s reaction to the claim that the affidavit appeared on Mallya’s social media accounts earlier than expected.
Overall, the outlets agree that the warning is tied to the alleged premature online posting of an ED court affidavit. They differ mainly in the emphasis on the procedural timeline around submission and service, rather than the substance of the court’s concern.
