The company challenged a notice received on June 30, from the Maharashtra cyber police, “restraining the company from making objectionable or controversial statements”. A reference was made in the notice to a complaint received on June 12, against the TV serial Tum Se Tum Tak. However, when the petitioner tried to approach the purported complainant, Sunil Mahendra Sharma, they were informed by the security guard that no such person resided at the address.
