Delhi High Court Issues Injunction Against AI Misuse of Ravi Kishan's Identity

On July 2, 2026, the Delhi High Court granted an ex parte ad interim injunction to actor Ravi Kishan, protecting his personality rights against unauthorized use of his name, image, and voice.

The court ordered the removal of infringing URLs within three days and mandated major tech platforms to disable access to offending content within 72 hours of notification. This ruling highlights the growing concern over the misuse of celebrity identities in the digital age.

Key Points: • Delhi High Court granted an injunction protecting Ravi Kishan's personality rights. • The court's order prohibits unauthorized use of Kishan's identity through AI and deepfake technologies. • Major tech platforms are required to disable access to infringing content within 72 hours.
