DELHI HIGH COURT SAFEGUARDS RAJAT SHARMA'S PERSONALITY RIGHTS

Recently, journalist Rajat Sharma (hereinafter referred 'Plaintiff'), editor-in-chief of India TV, initiated a lawsuit against "Jhandiya TV" (hereinafter referred 'Defendant') for trademark infringement of the logos resembling "India TV" and "Aap Ki Adalat". The Defendant adopted a strikingly similar logo and name i.e. "Baap ki Adalat'. The Plaintiff sought a permanent injunction against the Defendant for protection of the logo and the unauthorized use of any photos and videos of Plaintiff on various social media platforms.
Consequently, the Delhi HC issued an interim order against Defendant, and it is now barred from using the logo "Baap ki Adalat" and any content involving Plaintiff. Additionally, the Internet platforms, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and Facebook, have been directed to remove all the content pertaining to the disputed matter.
