The petition was moved by one Swati alias Smriti Negi for restoration of her YouTube channel. Her counsel said that her account was deleted from YouTube on account of three copyright strikes, without any notice or opportunity of hearing.
However, the Court said the relief sought by her cannot be granted in a writ petition.
“It is not in dispute that petitioner entered into an agreement with YouTube with certain terms and conditions. If YouTube finds that any one or more terms and conditions, settled between the parties, has been violated, then the account of the petitioner can be deleted,” it added.
Though the petitioner argued that she did not violate any terms or conditions of the agreement, the Court asked her to avail any other remedy that may be available to her.
