Remove IndiaMART Review in Kolkata: the local legal context
Kolkata falls within the Calcutta High Court, which sits in the city. Kolkata's commercial and professional community — spanning trading businesses, manufacturing, education institutions, and healthcare — increasingly faces online reputation attacks through Bengali-language portals and national platforms.
Bengali-language news portal defamation targeting business owners
Fake reviews on JustDial and Sulekha targeting Kolkata retail and services
Social media campaigns against educational institutions and coaching centres
Kolkata reputation matters frequently involve Bengali-language news portals, regional Twitter/X accounts targeting film and political figures, and Facebook groups operating across the West Bengal diaspora. Cross-border content from Bangladesh-hosted sites is an increasing source of cases.
For Kolkata, a civil suit lies before the competent civil court or Calcutta High Court, which has an original side.
Highest-risk Kolkata industries: Bengali film and entertainment industry professionals (coordinated social media and Bengali YouTube attacks), traditional family businesses (consumer-portal organised review attacks), and political consultants (Bengali-language news-portal defamation).
In Kolkata, 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 or Calcutta High Court, which has an original side.
