Hearing the petition of Dr Cyriac Abby Philips aka Dr Liver Doc challenging the suspension of his X account, the Karnataka High Court ordered the restoration of his account on the condition that he hides the alleged “defamatory tweets” against ayurvedic pharma company Himalaya India and its products, LiveLaw reported.
The Kerala-based doctor’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter, was suspended last month after Himalaya Wellness Corporation filed a petition accusing Philips of posting derogatory statements against its products. A Bengaluru court then issued an interim injunction order restraining Philips from “tweeting, making or re-publishing defamatory remarks”. His X account was also suspended.
Philips is well-known for challenging so-called home remedies through detailed posts on his social media. He moved the high court against the trial court’s interim order.
