The Delhi High Court on Friday indicated that it is likely to issue interim directions to protect the personality rights of Malayalam actor Mohanlal. Justice Jyoti Singh, while hearing the matter, also allowed the actor’s application to implead additional defendants in the case.
Earlier, the Court had permitted Mohanlal to withdraw his interim plea with liberty to file a revised application containing clearer and more specific details. During the proceedings, the Court directed the actor to submit a note listing the allegedly infringing links to the defendants.
The case is part of a growing number of similar petitions before the Delhi High Court, where several public figures—including actors, sportspersons, journalists, and spiritual leaders—have sought legal protection of their personality rights against unauthorized use of their name, image, voice, and likeness.
Mohanlal is among the latest celebrities to approach the Court, joining a wider trend of public figures seeking safeguards against digital misuse and commercial exploitation of their identity.
In response, courts have increasingly been granting interim injunctions to prevent such violations, particularly across advertisements, online platforms, and digital content. Legal experts note that although personality rights are not governed by a single codified law in India, they are steadily being shaped through judicial precedents, especially in cases involving technology-driven misuse.
