Court Orders Fast Decision on Appeal to Remove Video Content
法院命令快速決定上訴,移除影片內容
Introduction
The Delhi High Court has ordered the Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC) to make a decision within fifteen days regarding an appeal to remove a video created by Dhruv Rathee.
德里高等法院已命令申訴上訴委員會(GAC)在十五日內,就移除 Dhruv Rathee 製作的一段影片之上訴做出決定。
Main Body
The legal process began when lawyer Amita Sachdeva filed a petition. She asserted that the GAC did not follow the time limits set by the 2021 Information Technology Rules. Furthermore, she argued that the video was defamatory because it targeted Hindu deities, specifically Lord Ram and Sita.
這項法律程序始於律師 Amita Sachdeva 提交請願。她主張 GAC 未能遵守 2021 年資訊科技規則設定的時間限制。此外,她認為該影片具有毀謗性質,因為其針對印度教神靈,特別是羅摩(Lord Ram)與悉多(Sita)。
Regarding the different positions, the Union Government described the video as harmful and likely to cause division. The government emphasized that the platform should have removed the content voluntarily, arguing that a pending appeal does not stop a company from deleting unacceptable material. On the other hand, lawyers for Google stated that the petitioner had used the correct legal process and that the platform had already sent its official response to the GAC.
關於不同的立場,聯邦政府將該影片描述為有害且可能導致分歧。政府強調平台應主動移除內容,並主張上訴尚未完結並不妨礙公司刪除不可接受的素材。另一方面,Google 的律師則表示請願人已採取正確的法律程序,且平台已將正式回覆發送至 GAC。
Additionally, this case is being looked at by another court. The petitioner has asked a trial court in Saket to file a police report (FIR), claiming the video distorted religious texts and caused disharmony. However, the High Court's current focus was specifically on the administrative delay of the GAC, which led to the order for a quick decision.
此外,本案正由另一座法院審理。請願人已要求 Saket 的初級法院提交警察報告(FIR),指稱該影片歪曲宗教典籍並導致不和。然而,高等法院目前的關注點在於 GAC 的行政延遲,因此下令要求快速做出決定。
Conclusion
The Delhi High Court has closed the petition by requiring the GAC to resolve the appeal within fifteen days.
德里高等法院要求 GAC 在十五日內解決上訴,隨後結案。

🚀 The 'Logical Glue' Strategy
To move from A2 (simple sentences) to B2 (complex flow), you need to stop using and and but for everything. This text uses Connectors of Contrast and Addition to build a professional argument.
⚡ The B2 Upgrade
Look at how the text connects opposing ideas. Instead of saying "The government said X, but Google said Y," it uses sophisticated 'glue':
- "On the other hand..." Use this when you are presenting a completely different perspective. It signals to the listener: "Now I am switching sides."
- "Furthermore..." This is the 'Professional' version of "also." It adds a new, stronger point to a list of arguments.
- "However..." Used to create a sharp turn in the logic. Example: "The court is busy. However, it still made a decision."
🛠️ Practical Application: The "Pivot" Technique
B2 speakers don't just list facts; they pivot. Try replacing your basic words with these text-based alternatives:
| A2 Level (Basic) | B2 Level (Advanced) | Context from Article |
|---|---|---|
| Also | Additionally | Adding more legal actions |
| But | However | Shifting focus to the High Court |
| And | Furthermore | Adding more complaints about the video |
🧠 Pro Tip: Position Matters
Notice that "Furthermore" and "Additionally" start the sentence and are followed by a comma. This is a classic B2 marker. It tells the reader that you are organizing your thoughts logically before you even finish the sentence.
