Neutral Citation Number: 2023:DHC:2806 offending content; this responsibility of the search engine cannot be brushed under the carpet on the ground that it does not host content. 60. This Court painfully notes that there is an abysmal absence of a collaborative effort that should ideally be undertaken by the intermediaries and the State. The focus of such entities and authorities should be on the quick redressal of the complaint brought before them rather than the shirking of blame or making submissions on the onerous nature of their duties. In the process of shirking responsibility, precious time is lost in removal of the offending content and it enables the offender to keep reposting the content. It further encourages other potential offenders to undertake such dissemination of NCII content as they are aware of the lack of consequences. This in turn frustrates the legal redressal mechanism in place and the harm, both emotional and reputational, caused to the victim/user persists and perpetuates. In a conservative country like India where matters of this nature are not a part of dinner table conversations, NCII abuse does indeed lead to harrowing consequences and everlasting stigma for the victim. In light of this, the endeavour of every entity involved should be to expeditiously resolve the issue. DIRECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 61. In view of the foregoing observations, this Court deems it fit to render the following directions and recommendations to the Respondent Intermediaries, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY), as well as the Delhi Police, for ensuring that cases of the instant nature are dealt in a manner that minimises the trauma caused to the victim and resolves the problem at hand expeditiously: Signature Not Verified Digitally Signed By:SHAZAAD ZAKIR Signing Date:26.04.2023 17:19:50 W.P.(CRL) 1505/2021 Page 83 of 88
