Where Do We Draw The Line?: Delhi High Court Declines A Blanket Injunction On Personality Rights, Orders Takedown Of Only Obscene Content

Hearing actress Meenakshi Chaudhary’s suit to protect her personality rights, the Delhi High Court granted an ex parte interim order to take down obscene and sexually explicit content, but declined a blanket injunction, with Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani stressing that a plaintiff must show the unauthorised commercial monetisation of her personality traits. The Court, weighing similar suits by other public figures, is examining the larger question with the help of amici curiae.
