Bombay High Court allowed Nitin Gadkari to sue Meta and Google over defamatory posts linking him to E20 profits.
Gadkari alleged that social media content falsely links him and his family to profits from the E20 policy.
The E20 policy is run by the Petroleum Ministry, not by Gadkari's ministry.
The court's permission enables Gadkari to proceed with legal action against the tech platforms.
The case highlights ongoing issues of defamation and accountability on social media platforms.
