MouthShut Reviews Removal in Kochi: the local legal context
Kochi falls within the Kerala High Court, which sits in the city. Kochi's strong professional culture — with significant presence of IT companies, healthcare institutions, and finance sector employers — creates a distinctive defamation risk profile including Glassdoor attacks targeting Kerala-based IT employers and social media defamation targeting medical professionals.
Glassdoor reviews targeting Kochi IT and BPO employers
Medical professional defamation through Kerala-language social media
Right to Be Forgotten applications for dated adverse content
Kochi content matters involve Malayalam-language news portals, regional YouTube channels with strong subscriber bases, and TripAdvisor and Google Reviews for the city's tourism and hospitality industries.
Kerala High Court sits at Kochi but has no original civil side, so a civil suit starts in the competent civil court in Kochi.
Highest-risk Kochi industries: Tourism and hospitality businesses (TripAdvisor, Google Reviews, Booking.com defamation during peak seasons), Malayalam-cinema professionals (regional YouTube and social media coordinated attacks), and seafood-export and shipping businesses.
In Kochi, removal from MouthShut.com 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 Kochi. Across 25+ cities RepuLex maintains a 97% case success rate — permanent removal, not suppression.

RepuLex monitors compliance and, if the platform does not act, escalates to the Grievance Appellate Committee or, through the partner law firm, to court.
Written removal confirmation provided. Google de-indexing request filed. Kochi clients receive documentary evidence of permanent content removal.
Kochi professionals and businesses increasingly face false content on MouthShut.com that damages their search rankings and professional credibility. In Kerala, that content is legally actionable under the IT Act 2000 and the IT Rules 2021: a formal complaint to the platform's Grievance Officer, issued through RepuLex's partner law firm, starts the Rules' statutory deadlines. Where the platform fails to act, an injunction is available from the competent civil court, and from Kerala High Court itself only where it has an original side.
