Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw issued the direction after the internet service providers handed over the details related to the mailers in a sealed cover, asking not to disclose it to anyone.
Taking note of it, the court said since the issue was "serious, a case is made out to hand over the details to the plaintiff (Tata Sons)".
The service provider handed over the details pursuant to the court's December 7 last year direction by which it had also asked them to stop anyone from posting or publishing any libellous material.
In an ex-parte order, the court had directed internet firms M/s Alliance Broadband Services Pvt Ltd, M/s G C Link Pvt Ltd and M/s Pyne Cable Systems to provide in sealed cover the identities of 35 entities or persons, who are registered with them and allegedly sending derogatory mails to Tata group officials, including the CEO of Tata Motors Insurance Broking and Advisory Services Ltd Tarun Samant.
The judge also noted the allegation that those e-mail IDs were not only used for forwarding those mails to all top officials of the Tata group but also to the Prime Minister of India as well as Ministers and dignitaries overseas such as the Prime Minister of UK, the Chairman of the European Union, the Commerce and Industries Minister of UK etc.
They have also claimed damages of Rs five crore.
