Delhi High Court Restrains Unauthorized Use of Cricketer Abhishek Sharma's Personality RightsPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court has issued an interim order protecting Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma's personality rights by restraining unauthorized use of his name, image, and likeness, including AI-generated content and merchandise sales. Justice Jyoti Singh directed platforms like Meta and e-commerce sellers to remove infringing material. The court noted Sharma's prominence and found the false and obscene content damaging to his reputation. Similar protections have been granted to other public figures in previous cases.
