World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 3m ago

The High Court has instructed prominent Indian personality Amitabh Bachchan to make a personal appearance in court if an ongoing legal settlement regarding his personality rights fails.

The development arises within the context of legal efforts to protect the actor's name, image, likeness, and other personal attributes from unauthorized commercial exploitation. Courts have increasingly been asked to intervene to establish boundaries on the unauthorized use of celebrity identities.

This directive underscores the judiciary's active management of personality rights disputes, signaling that high-profile litigants may be required to participate directly in proceedings if out-of-court resolutions cannot be reached.
