Delhi High Court passes permanent injunction in Amitabh Bachchan's personality rights suit

Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav passed the order on November 5. The Court decreed the suit against four defendants after the actor settled the dispute with them. These included Rajat Nagi, who had developed a mobile application titled 'Amitabh Bachchan Video Call', Manoj Publications, which had published a general knowledge quiz book featuring Bachchan's photograph, Tamatina, which sold posters bearing his images, and Mahesh Patel, who had registered the domain name amitabhbachchan.in. Under the settlement, these defendants acknowledged Bachchan's publicity and privacy rights and undertook not to use his name, image, voice, likeness or any other aspect of his persona without his express permission. They also agreed to be bound by the decree, including through their legal heirs and business assignees.
