Abhishek Bachchan petitions the Delhi High Court to defend his personality rights.

Mumbai: Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan has filed a case in the Delhi High Court to have his personality rights protected, claiming that rogue websites were violating his name and image.Later in the day, Justice Tejas Karia will hear this request, which follows his wife and actress Aishwarya Rai's court appearance in a related case. Bachchan has appealed against Bollywood Tee Shop, a website that sells t-shirts featuring Bollywood stars.The website and other infringers were the targets of the petition, which claimed that the unauthorized use of his persona was a part of a larger trend of online fraud that takes advantage of celebrities' identities.According to Bachchan's plea, the website and other violators should be blocked, infringement-related URLs should be taken down, and Google and YouTube should be ordered to remove illegal content.

Additionally, he asked that the order be extended to "John Doe" defendants, who are unnamed parties who might host similar infringing material in the future. One kind of court order against anonymous or unknown people is called "John Doe." In intellectual property and personality rights situations, it permits a celebrity, brand, or copyright owners to block not just the known infringers but also future or unnamed offenders who may misuse their name, image, or material.Bachchan's official lawyer, Dhruv Anand, asserted that the site was selling items, giving the false impression that he was endorsing it.
