In a rare and significant order, the Delhi High Court protected senior advocate Vikas Pahwa’s personality and publicity rights after his identity was misused for financial fraud. The ruling recognises that a lawyer’s reputation is built on “integrity, courtroom conduct, and trust”, not commercial endorsements.
Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa sent a strongly worded letter to Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the PM’s Economic Advisory Council, asserting that the judiciary does not block progress but upholds development, constitutional values, and protects liberty. Earlier, Sanyal called it the biggest hurdle to India’s ‘Viksit Bharat’ goal.
