A dedicated commercial court for Bengaluru Urban District has directed the micro-blogging site Twitter to block .
Also, the court ordered removing three tweets posted by the party.
The Twitter handles are '@INCIndia' and '@BharatJodo'.
The court order came after a suit was filed by MRT Music which is the copyright holder of the soundtracks from the film KGF Chapter 2.
What is the controversy all about?
MRT Music alleged that its copyright has been infringed upon and sought a permanent injunction against the INC and its leaders from using its copyrighted music.
"Plaintiff has specifically produced a CD showing the side-by-side file i.e., the original version of his copyrighted work with that of the illegally synchronized version. These prima facie materials available before this court at this stage establish that if the same is encouraged, a plaintiff who is in the business of acquiring cinematography films, songs, music albums... will be put to irreparable injury and further same leads to encouraging the piracy at large," the court said in its order.
The court also appointed a commissioner to audit and preserve the evidence on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube.
