Yuvraj Singh personality rights case

Overview

In late July 2026, the Delhi High Court issued an interim order requiring the removal of specific online content that allegedly infringed former cricketer Yuvraj Singh's personality and publicity rights. The order named particular URLs and gave uploaders 48 hours to delete the material, after which intermediaries had an additional 36 hours to act.

A few days later, in early August 2026, the court expanded its protection by explicitly banning the creation and distribution of AI‑generated deep‑fake depictions of Singh. The new order covered his name, image, voice and likeness, prohibiting any unauthorised commercial or personal use, and directed platforms such as Meta to remove offending material. Together, the rulings set a precedent for Indian public figures seeking legal recourse against misuse of their persona in the digital age.
