~Blink Digital has challenged Meta after four Business Manager accounts and corporate pages were disabled, seeking restoration while a reported ₹1,000-crore-plus damages claim remains unquantified in the two court orders reviewed by Social Samosa.~
Mumbai, September 2026: Digital advertising agency Blink Digital India Pvt. Ltd. has moved the Bombay High Court after Meta disabled four of its Business Manager accounts and corporate pages. The agency is seeking restoration of those digital assets and interim relief while its commercial suit proceeds.
The preservation of account data is an immediate point in the proceedings. Counsel for Meta Platforms Inc. told the court that the company would preserve data connected with Blink’s disabled accounts in accordance with law until the next hearing, and that statement was recorded in the order. The court has not adjudicated Blink’s claims or awarded damages.
Media reports put Blink’s damages demand at more than ₹1,000 crore; however, Social Samosa noted that the two Bombay High Court orders it reviewed do not specify that amount. The interim application is next scheduled for October 12, 2026 at 4:30 PM.
For agencies and brands, the dispute is a sharp reminder that platform access is not merely a media-operations issue: when campaign infrastructure, client delivery and historical data sit behind a third-party account layer, governance, escalation paths and continuity planning become core marketing risk controls.
The suit names Facebook India Online Services Pvt. Ltd. and Meta Platforms Inc. as defendants. On September 10, the court granted Blink leave under Clause XII of the Letters Patent to pursue claims against Meta Platforms Inc., whose principal place of business lies outside the court’s territorial jurisdiction. At a September 17 hearing before Justice Sandeep V. Marne, Meta was given two weeks to file its affidavit-in-reply, with Blink allowed a further week for its rejoinder.
