Delhi High Court Restrains Coaching Institute from Using CLAT 2026 Topper's Identity Amid Defamation Dispute

The Delhi High Court has issued an interim order restraining Law Prep Tutorial and its associates from using CLAT 2026 topper Geetali Gupta's name, identity, or images, and from publishing defamatory content against Toprankers Edtech Solutions (LegalEdge). The dispute arose after Law Prep Tutorial allegedly launched a campaign against LegalEdge and Geetali following her family's refusal of a sponsorship offer. The court found prima facie evidence of defamation and trademark infringement, ordering removal of related content within 72 hours.
