Flipkart Internet Pvt. Ltd. v. State of U.P. & Ors.

This is an arrangement of the Allahabad High Court’s judgment in "Flipkart Internet Pvt. Ltd. v. State of U.P. & Ors.". The High Court quashed the First Information Report (FIR) filed against Flipkart Internet Private Limited. The Court held that Flipkart, as an intermediary under the Information Technology Act, 2000, is exempt from liability for third-party information or products listed on its platform, provided it adheres to due diligence and prescribed guidelines. The FIR, alleging offences of cheating and forgery related to a laptop purchase, did not establish any prima facie case against Flipkart as the company merely facilitated the transaction between the buyer and the seller.
