Bengaluru court gives injunction order for Toxic

Yash's Toxic directed by Geetu Mohan Das hit the screens today in a grand manner across the world.

In the meantime, Bengaluru court has passed an ex parte temporary injunction restraining the publication or circulation of any false or defamatory content against the film. The Additional City Civil and Sessions Court passed the interim order on August 22 on a suit filed by production house KVN Productions LLP against various defendants, including X Corp.

Passing the order, the Judge said "On perusal of all the documents produced by the plaintiff, I found that there is a prima facie case in favour of the plaintiff; the balance of convenience lies in favour of plaintiff. If the T.I (Temporary Injunction) is not granted, the very purpose of filing this suit will be defeated and it may amount to a multiplicity of proceedings. Therefore, without allowing the IA (Interlocutory Application) No. 1, as an interim measure for the limited period it can be granted on certain conditions,"

The Judge continued "Hence, issuing ex parte temporary injunction order against the defendants from communicating, publishing, circulating, sharing, posting, streaming, providing access to or otherwise communicating in any kind of media anything false, malicious, defamatory, derogatory, news concerning to film 'Toxic'; either prior or after its release,"

The court posted the next hearing to 29 Sep 2026.
