Overview

• A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice on a plea targeting a 36‑second AI‑generated video posted from the BJP Assam X handle on September 15.
• The application describes visuals portraying Muslims occupying Assam landmarks and asserting a 90% Muslim population if the BJP loses power, which the petitioners call a grossly false narrative.
• The court sought responses from X and the BJP’s Assam unit and scheduled further hearing in late October, with some reports noting notices to the Centre and the Assam government as well.
• Petitioners Qurban Ali and senior advocate Anjana Prakash, represented by advocate Nizam Pasha and filed through AOR Lzafeer Ahmad, asked for immediate takedown and action under the Court’s 2022 directions on registering suo motu FIRs.
• The post reportedly accrued over 4.6 million views within days and drew political pushback, including an FIR by the Assam Congress and public condemnation from AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi.
