Ban on use of Amitabh's name, voice, and photo: Delhi High Court asks government to remove content
The Delhi High Court on Friday restrained the use of Amitabh Bachchan's name, voice and photo without his permission. The court gave this interim order on one of his petitions, in which he wanted publicity and personality rights. The High Court also ordered the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and Telecom Services to remove their content.
Actually, many small and big companies use Amitabh's photo, voice and name without permission. His face is shown in many advertisements without his permission. Amitabh's lawyer Harish Salve had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court regarding this matter. It was appealed that this should be banned in the commercial industry.
The hearing of this case took place in the court of Justice Naveen Chawla on Friday. Justice Chawla asked the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and Telecom Services to immediately remove the content related to Big B's name, photo and voice. Apart from this, the court has also asked internet service providers to remove online links that come under Big B's personality rights.
