Delhi High Court Permanently Restrains Unauthorized Use of Amitabh Bachchan's Persona
The Delhi High Court has permanently protected Amitabh Bachchan's personality rights, restraining multiple defendants from unauthorized commercial use of his name, image, voice, and likeness. The court passed the decree on November 5, 2026, following a suit filed by Bachchan in 2022. Four defendants settled by acknowledging his rights and ceasing misuse, while others who failed to respond were barred from using his persona. The order covers various unauthorized uses, including a mobile app, quiz books, posters, and domain names, safeguarding the actor's publicity and privacy rights.
