Delhi High Court Orders Removal of Obscene Content, Limits Blanket Bans in Kapoor Personality Rights Cases

Delhi High Court Orders Removal of Obscene Content, Limits Blanket Bans in Kapoor Personality Rights CasesPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court has ordered the removal of obscene and pornographic online content involving actors Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, while rejecting broad requests to ban fan pages or impose blanket takedowns. The court emphasized protecting personality rights without infringing on free speech, requiring plaintiffs to specify offending URLs. It also indicated issuing John Doe orders to guard against unidentified parties exploiting the actresses' likenesses commercially. The rulings reflect growing legal challenges around unauthorized digital use of celebrity identities.
