Delhi High Court Considers Interim Protection for PhysicsWallah Founder’s Personality Rights
The Delhi High Court is set to decide on an interim order regarding PhysicsWallah founder Alakh Pandey's suit against unauthorized commercial use of his personality online. The court expressed willingness to protect Pandey from illegal monetization and vulgar content but cautioned against broad restrictions that could limit satire or free speech.

The court has asked Pandey to categorize the content before ruling.
