I've never said that, I've said that it would be a better option than pulling out the article worldwide. A geoblock would ensure the article remains available outside of India, and could be retrieved somewhat trivially through a VPN or a proxy, making Reuters in compliance of the court order, which only applies within India's border. It's definitely better than not complying, which would lead to Reuters office in India being shut down and risking some of their employees going to jail for not respecting a court order.
Reuters is appealing the decision, but for now they have to comply.
