Delhi High Court is set to pass an order protecting Telugu actor Nagarjuna’s rights after he raised concerns that his personality rights were violated by the unauthorised use of his image in social media content and merchandise.
Delhi High Court granted interim relief to Abhishek Bachchan, observing that unauthorized use of his name, image, likeness, and personality attributes creates public confusion and false perceptions of endorsement, thereby infringing his personality rights and causing reputational harm.
The Karnataka High Court has directed strict enforcement against the misuse of India’s national emblems and symbols, emphasizing their significance to national pride. Authorities are required to raise public awareness, implement existing laws, and educate officials while punishing unauthorized use. The initiative aims to protect the dignity and identity of national symbols.
The Delhi High Court quashed a 47-year-old government eviction notice against The Indian Express, citing it as an attempt to stifle press freedom. The court ruled the notices invalid and ordered the government to pay Rs 5 lakh in costs. This decision stemmed from a long-standing dispute over the newspaper’s premises, originally allocated in the 1950s.
