Delhi High Court upholds summons to Arvind Kejriwal in a criminal defamation case for retweeting a defamatory video by YouTuber Dhruv Rathee. Retweeting defamatory content is considered defamation under Section 499 of the IPC. The court emphasizes the need for responsibility while retweeting on social media. It states that retweets by political figures have a bigger impact and can be seen as a public endorsement. The court also highlights the importance of examining the concept of publication in the context of virtual platforms.
