Legal process in Ahmedabad.
Document the review: screenshot with URL, date, and reviewer profile.
Assess legal actionability: determine if the review is defamatory (false statement of fact) vs opinion. RepuLex provides free assessment.
IT Act Section 79 notice: the partner law firm serves a formal legal notice on Google; where Google declines, a court order must be acted on within three hours under the IT Rules 2021.
Defamation notice to the author: in parallel, a notice citing BNS 2023 s.356 (formerly IPC 499/500) is served on the review originator, setting out their personal exposure for false statements of fact.
Google de-indexing: once removed, a formal de-indexing request is filed. Review is removed from Maps and Search results permanently.
Remove Google Review in Ahmedabad: the local legal context
Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara fall within the Gujarat High Court, which sits in Ahmedabad. The Gujarati business community is frequently targeted through false complaint articles on Gujarati-language portals, fake review campaigns on trade platforms, and defamatory WhatsApp forwards circulated within business networks.
Trade and commodity market defamation on Gujarati business forums
WhatsApp-spread false accusations in business community networks
Fake JustDial and IndiaMART reviews targeting manufacturing businesses
Ahmedabad content removal cases involve Gujarati-language news portals, JustDial and Google Maps reviews targeting the city's textile, pharmaceutical, and trading-business owners, and increasingly LinkedIn-based defamation in the financial-services and stock-trading communities.
Gujarat High Court sits in Ahmedabad but has no original civil side, so a civil suit starts in the competent civil court in Ahmedabad.
Highest-risk Ahmedabad industries: Pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing executives (regulatory-rumour and product-quality defamation), textile and trading-house owners (consumer-portal review attacks), and stock-broker community members (financial-forum defamation).
In Ahmedabad, Google review removal rests on the Information Technology Act 2000 (Section 79 read with IT Rules 2021, which set platform deadlines of three hours on a court order, two hours on intimate images or impersonation of a person, and seven days on most other complaints, defamation included), criminal defamation under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 s.356 (formerly IPC 499/500), and civil injunctions from the competent civil court in Ahmedabad. Across 25+ cities RepuLex maintains a 97% case success rate — permanent removal, not suppression.
