Justice Manoj Jain directed the social media platforms to remove the posts immediately.
In its order, the Court noted that the posts also showed the Chief Minister as the head of the purported “Har Har Rekha or Ghar Ghar Theka” scheme.
Justice Jain said that these AI-generated videos and posts were not only defamatory and offensive but also attacked the dignity of a woman occupying a constitutional post.
Holding public office invites greater scrutiny but an individual's dignity cannot be compromised, the Court underscored.
"Admittedly, any political party is entitled to criticise any governmental policy or decision or administrative action of the government but in the garb of expression of disapproval of any such policy, the offensive portrayal of Chief Minister, with the assistance of AI-generated videos, hurting her very dignity can be, by no stretch of imagination, said to be in the realm of permissible political satire," the Court observed.
It then issued the interim direction to the social media platforms to remove the content.
The Court also issued notices and summons to AAP and other defendants.
