Ansal has said that series is defamatory and infringes on his right to privacy.

As an interim measure he has sought a stay on the release of the show.
Adv: The characterisation (not as per public records) is immediately prejudicial...This is a situation where they call me out by name. That directly affects my reputation.
...both, the teaser and the trailer, as well as the book, indicate clearly that this movie is about how I am a mass murderer and not what I've been found guilty of.
Advocate for Netflix: Injunction is sought on the basis of the statements of the book...The allegation is based on the book...Can we speculate what the film will be? Can we speculate in light of the disclaimer I've taken?
Bench: The critique in public domain will also be in the manner in which the entire event and the trial went on.
Sr Adv Amit Sibal for Netflix Inc: Yes. #DelhiHighCourt@netflix#UphaarTragedy#SushilAnsal
Sibal: This is clearly a matter of public interest. It was publically announced that a web series will be made and the book was published three years before the announcement.
Sibal: Plaintiff did not come to court against the book. He waited for the all these years for the series to be made.
J Varma: The book was published during the trial?
Sibal: Yes. #DelhiHighCourt@netflix#UphaarTragedy#SushilAnsal
Sibal: There are two parallel proceeding that arose out of the Uphaar tragedy. One was causing death by negligence. that has attained finality. the other is tampering with evidence case. #DelhiHighCourt@netflix#UphaarTragedy#SushilAnsal
Aggarwal: They say this series is a work of fiction. If it is then what gives you the right to take my name and refer to real places as if they are real events... You take my name what else is there to say?
Aggarwal: To the extent it is based on public record, I have no problem.
Bench: They are saying it is not based on public record.
Aggarwal: If it is not, can it not amount to violation of my rights? #DelhiHighCourt @netflix
