multiple users are engaged in infringing activities by using Plaintiff’s name,
image, likeness and other personality attributes without Plaintiff’s

platform YouTube, where infringing videos using Plaintiff’s name, image,
likeness and other personality attributes have been published without
Plaintiff’s authorization. Defendant No.17 is X, a social networking and

38. It is urged that Plaintiff has a right to prevent third parties from
misappropriating the goodwill and reputation associated with his persona/
likeness and if any attribute is misappropriated and goods are sold to public
giving a false impression of association with or endorsement by the Plaintiff,
it would confuse and cause irreparable harm to the reputation of the
Plaintiff. Defendants No.2 to 14 are operating commercial merchandise
websites which offer for sale products such as T Shirts, phone covers,
posters etc. bearing Plaintiff’s name, image, likeness and/or other
personality attributes without his consent or authorization and for unlawful
commercial gains, amounting to passing off and violating the common law
rights of the Plaintiff. Details of the Defendants and offending links/websites

39. It is submitted that Defendants No.20 to 36 are various accounts

have created and disseminated unauthorized content falsely suggesting
Plaintiff’s association with the endorsements therein. This apart, some
disseminated AI generated content involves body shaming, unparliamentary
and sexually explicit language and material instigating hatred against the
Plaintiff as also distortion of his performances in cinematograph films using
Plaintiff’s personality attributes. Illustratively, Defendant No.26 is an
Instagram account bearing the user name ‘baiju.art’, accessible at
http://www.instagram.com/baiju_art/reels/, which has created, published and
disseminated multiple unauthorised AI generated images and videos using
Plaintiff’s attributes, without consent or licence and the content falsely

Defendant
No.36
40. It is argued that Defendant No.15 owns and operates social media
platforms Facebook and Instagram, on which multiple users are engaged in
infringing activities as detailed in the plaint, using Plaintiff’s personality
attributes without authorisation and Defendant No.16 operates YouTube
platform on which infringing videos are being published with personality
attributes of the Plaintiff and distorting his image and cinematograph
performances. Learned counsel submits that the impugned contents which
are subject matter of this suit are causing irreparable damage to the goodwill
and reputation of the Plaintiff, garnered over four decades and are also
violating his personality, privacy and intellectual property rights.
41. Appearing on advance copy of the plaint, counsel for Defendant No.3,
on instructions, submits that Defendant No.3 is an online e-commerce
platform operating as an intermediary and on receipt of Plaintiff’s notice, in
good faith and without prejudice to its rights and contentions, the specified
URLs were permanently disabled/removed from the platform and respective
uploaders were duly notified and cautioned against alleged infringing
activities. This intimation was duly communicated to the Plaintiff vide
e-mail dated 25.03.2026 and hence, Defendant No.3 be deleted from array of
parties.
42. Appearing on behalf of Defendant No.5, learned counsel, on
instructions, submits that Defendant No.5 is a third party whose online
marketplace, appears to have been used by other Defendants to list, price,
offer for sale or sell the impugned products bearing Plaintiff’s images.
Defendant No.5 has no role in these infringing activities. Moreover,

The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 10/04/2026 at 21:06:41
Plaintiff has not identified specific infringing URLs in the plaint sans
which no action can be taken by Defendant No.5. As and when Plaintiff
furnishes details of identified infringing URLs, necessary action will be
taken.
43. Counsels for Meta and Google jointly submit that they are
intermediaries that provide platforms where third parties can upload content
and are neither the authors nor publishers of the content allegedly infringing
Plaintiff’s rights. Therefore, in the first instance, Court may issue directions
to concerned Defendants, who are uploaders, to take down the URLs.
Counsel for Meta urges that take down directions of all URLs be issued first
against Defendants No.20 to 24 and 26 to 30 and in the event, they fail to do
so, Meta be directed to take action only against specific URLs identified in
Annexure-B. It is also submitted that Meta be directed only to provide
Basic Subscriber Information (‘BSI’) and IP logs of Defendants No.20 to 24
and 26 to 30 and not complete details as sought in the plaint. Counsel for
Google makes a similar submission for a direction in the first instance to
Defendants No.25 and 31 to 35 and only in the event they fail to take down
the URLs, Google be directed to take action only against URLs specified
and identified in Annexure-C and that Google be directed only to provide
BSI and IP logs of Defendants No.25 and 31 to 35.
44. I have heard learned counsel for the Plaintiff and examined his
contentions as also the documents placed on record and I am of the view that
Plaintiff has made out a prima facie case for grant of ex parte ad interim
injunction against the Defendants. Balance of convenience lies in favour of
the Plaintiff and he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in case the interim
injunction, as prayed for, is not granted.

45. Plaintiff is one of the most distinguished actors in Indian cinema with
an illustrious career spanning over 4 decades with more than 360
cinematograph films to his credit. As brought forth, Plaintiff has over the
years garnered immense goodwill and reputation for himself and is a
recipient of prestigious honours and awards such as National Film Award
for Best Actor, Dadasaheb Phalke Award, highest honour in Indian cinema
as also Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan. As stated in the plaint, Plaintiff is
the only actor whose films in two different languages have crossed 100
crores mark. He has also made significant contributions to the film industry
as a producer, director, playback singer and author.
46. Plaintiff has a right to protect his name, likeness, voice and image,
which are the elements and attributes of his persona and personality and no
third party has a right to use these attributes without his authorisation. It is
equally settled that when attributes of famous personalities are
unauthorisedly used, it leads to commercial detriment. Celebrity’s right of
endorsement acts as a major source of likelihood which cannot be destroyed
by permitting unlawful dissemination and sale of merchandise or other
articles bearing the face or attributes of his or her persona without
authorisation. [Ref.: Anil Kapoor v. Simply Life India, 2023 SCC Online
Del 6914 and Jaikishan Kakubhai Saraf v. Peppy Store and Others, 2024
SCC OnLine Del 3664].
47. As brought forth in the plaint, Defendants No.1 to 14 are operating
commercial merchandise websites, which offer sale of products such as T-
Shirts, hoodies, posters etc. using Plaintiff’s name, image, likeness and other
personality attributes without his authorisation and thereby infringe his
personality and publicity rights besides the right to endorse various products

for commercial gain and this also amounts to passing off. Defendants No.20
to 36 are creating and disseminating unauthorised content which includes
Plaintiff’s association or endorsements as also distasteful content involving
body shaming and unparliamentary and sexually explicit language and there
is no gainsaying that this is causing irreparable damage and harm to
Plaintiff’s immense goodwill and reputation built over 4 decades. Therefore,
it is imperative that concerned Defendants are restrained and personality/
publicity/intellectual property rights of the Plaintiff are protected and
preserved. Accordingly, the following directions are issued:-
(a) Defendants No.1 to 14 and 20 to 36, their associates, servants,
agents, affiliates, holding companies, assignees, substitutes,
representatives, group entities, subscribers, employees and/or any

rights by utilising and/or in any manner, directly or indirectly
using, exploiting, reproducing, disseminating, or misappropriating
Plaintiff’s (a) name “Mohanlal”/”Lalettan”; (b) image; (c) voice;
(d) likeness and/or any other attribute of Plaintiff’s persona,
