High Court grants injunction in Aaradhya Bachchan case

Delhi High Court in a landmark judgment passed an injunction in Aishwarya Rai's daughter Aaradhya Bachchan's case. It is known that Aaradhya Bachchan, approached High Court seeking against ten youtube channels seeking an injunction for spreading fake news and videos about her health intruding into her privacy.

High Court after hearing her plea has granted an order of injunction against the infringers and uploaders from uploading the infringing videos and any such content which infringes the privacy and gives false news about Aaradhya Bachchan. The court has also directed Google/ YouTube to give details of the infringers such as contact number, email id, etc.

Advocates Dayan Krishnan, Ameet Naik, and Pravin Anand appeared for Aaradhya and Abhishek. Speaking about the judgment, advocates shared "It is a landmark judgment on 3 counts - an injunction which upholds the privacy of a child, against disseminating false and fake news about a child which is harmful to a child and against defamation. Children must be treated with parity - whether celebrity child or otherwise - the court has said that the intermediaries should have a zero-tolerance policy on such fake news which is harmful to a child same as that for child pornography"

This is the first-time, a court passed such an order and this helps in a long way to protect the rights of the children of the celebrities.
