Justice Paresh Upadhyay allowed an appeal filed by Jay Shah against a lower court order, which had partly lifted the injunction against the news portal while restraining it from linking the article to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
With today's order, the portal will not be able to publish any article related to the businesses of the petitioner until the hearing concludes in a civil defamatory suit filed by him.
The high court had then ordered them to go back to the lower court against its order.
The lower court in its order passed in December last year partly allowed their petition, while restraining them from linking it to the prime minister.
