Remove IndiaMART Review in Chandigarh: the local legal context
Chandigarh falls within the Punjab & Haryana High Court, which sits in the city; its territorial jurisdiction covers Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh, including Ludhiana, Amritsar, Gurgaon, and Faridabad. Chandigarh's professional community — including lawyers, doctors, real estate agents, and government contractors — faces targeted reputation attacks through social media and regional Punjabi-language portals.
Professional defamation via regional Punjabi-language social media
Fake reviews on JustDial targeting Chandigarh service businesses
Real estate and property dealer false complaint campaigns
Chandigarh cases involve a tri-state ecosystem (Punjab, Haryana, Himachal) — the city's content removal matters often span multiple state-language platforms (Punjabi news portals, Haryanvi YouTube channels), and tend to involve cross-state diaspora attacks via Facebook and WhatsApp.
Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh has appellate jurisdiction for both states. The High Court has no original civil side, so a civil suit starts in the competent civil court in Chandigarh.
Highest-risk Chandigarh industries: Healthcare specialists (Practo attacks), education and coaching institutes (Haryana-Punjab competitor review attacks), and agri-business and food-processing executives (consumer-portal defamation).
In Chandigarh, IndiaMART 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 Chandigarh.
