Tabu Moves Delhi HC for Personality Rights Protection
Actress Tabu approaches Delhi High Court seeking protection of personality and publicity rights against unauthorised use of her name, image and AI-generated content.
New Delhi, Aug 4 — Celebrated actress Tabu has approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of her personality and publicity rights against the alleged unauthorised use of her name, image, likeness and other identity attributes, including through artificial intelligence-generated content and digital impersonation.
The matter came up for hearing before a single-judge Bench of Justice Jyoti Singh, who noted certain discrepancies in the pleadings filed on behalf of the actress. During the proceedings, Justice Singh asked senior advocate Swathi Sukumar, appearing for Tabu, to file a fresh memo of parties after observing that the existing memo did not correctly mention details of some of the defendants.
The judge remarked that accurate particulars of all parties were necessary for proper adjudication of the case and directed that the defects be rectified. Following this, the Delhi High Court deferred further hearing in the matter and listed it for August 6.
