The court was hearing a complaint filed by advocate Sushil Kumar Mishra.

The complainant said googling “top ten criminals of the world” showed the photograph of PM Modi. Gupta said he had written to Google asking it to remove Modi’s name but got no response. Gupta also claimed he had approached the police regarding the matter.
He then moved an application before the chief judicial magistrate but his plea was dismissed on November 3, 2015, on the grounds that it was a civil case. Gupta challenged CJM’s order by filing a revision application in court which allowed the revision application and passed the order.
