Free Legal Consultation

Share the URL. We assess the case at no charge.

Send us the URL of the harmful content — via WhatsApp, email, or phone. A senior legal counsel reviews the content type, the platform it lives on, and the applicable legal grounds: defamation under IPC 499/500, IT Act violations, privacy breach, or right to be forgotten. Within 4 hours you receive a clear recommendation on the fastest removal route and a fixed-fee quote.

What happens
  • Case reviewed by senior legal counsel
  • Legal grounds for removal identified
  • Fastest route recommended
  • Fixed-fee quote provided
  • NDA executed before detailed discussion

Day 1 to 2

Legal Strategy & Engagement

Strategy locked. Team assigned. NDA signed.

We confirm the engagement, execute the confidentiality agreement, and collect the 50% advance. A dedicated legal team is assigned based on jurisdiction and content type. The formal strategy document — specifying the exact legal route, platform-specific approach, and timeline commitments — is shared with you before any notice is issued.

What happens
  • Engagement letter and NDA executed
  • 50% advance payment
  • Dedicated legal team assigned

Day 2 to 7

Legal Notices & Takedown Action

Formal notices. Mandatory compliance deadlines.

Formal notices are issued simultaneously to the platform, the content host, and — where identifiable — the originator. Under IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules 2021, significant social media intermediaries must respond within 36 hours of receiving a valid notice for certain content categories. Cease-and-desist letters are issued to originators. Court order applications are filed where platforms demonstrate non-compliance.

What happens
  • IT Act Section 79 notice to platform
  • Defamation notice to originator
  • Platform legal team directly engaged
  • Cease-and-desist issued where applicable
  • Court order application filed if needed
04
Day 7 to 30

Confirmed Removal & Documentation

Removed. Confirmed. Documented. Closed.

Content is removed from the platform. We obtain written confirmation from the platform's legal or trust-and-safety team — not just a screen recording. A Google de-index request is submitted and verified. You receive the complete case file: notices sent, platform responses, confirmation letter, and de-index verification. The 50% balance is due on receipt of the confirmation document.

What happens
  • Content removed from platform
  • Written confirmation from platform obtained
  • Google de-index filed and verified
  • Full case documentation delivered
  • Post-removal monitoring setup
