Bengaluru Court Bars Welfare Group From Defamatory Statements Against QNET India


A Bengaluru civil court has granted an interim order restraining a group calling itself the Financial Fraud's Victims Welfare Association from making defamatory statements about QNET's Indian franchisee, Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt. Ltd.

The City Civil and Sessions Court order, dated April 2, 2024, bars the association and its members, including Gurupreet Singh Inderjeetsingh Anand, Phanindra, Anuja Kotecha and Surendra Mukaitra, from making defamatory statements or holding press conferences against the company. The suit followed a press conference the group held in Hyderabad on March 17.

The company also cited an order of the Karnataka High Court dated March 13, 2024 in writ petition 7603 of 2024 that kept India Post services available to it, as well as earlier rulings including a 2017 Supreme Court stay and a February 2017 Karnataka High Court decision quashing an FIR.

QNET sells wellness, lifestyle and personal care products through independent representatives in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
