In US courts, the truth is a defense against defamation. I don't see that defamation is explicitly what is claimed in this case, but the gag order seems motivated to silence those individuals (editors) and groups (Wikipedia and WMF) not in Indian jurisdiction for purposes of suppressing legitimate discussion and dissent of a court case that is relevant to the public. This can only create a chilling effect, suppressing exercise of free speech rights of all individual editors and freedom to read of all.
