Delhi High Court is hearing the petition filed by Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seeking protection of her personality rights. Image
Justice Tejas Karia is hearing the matter.

Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi is arguing for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Sethi - The plaintiff is a well known celebrity. I want to protect my publicity and personality rights.
He takes the Court through the website which states that wrongly states that it is an official website. Then he refers to another website selling merchandise on her name, photos and T-shirts with my images and name.
Sethi - It is selling mugs, drinkware with my pictures on the top of the jug. I have never authorised this.
He tells the Court about Aishwarya Nation Wealth, puts my picture on the letterhead. It records my name as Chairperson. My client has no prior knowledge or entered any conversation with them. There is fraudulent intent.
Sethi - There are John Does that are collecting money through this outfit. He reads out a lewd message written for Bachchan. It is shocking. Her morphed pictures are being used. It is all AI generated. There are intimate photographs, completely unreal.
Sethi also cites the personality rights case of actor Anil Kapoor.
Sethi - Her image, her persona, her likeness is being used to satisfy someone’s sexual desire. He is collecting money by putting my face and name.

Supreme Court hears a plea against illegal organ transplant

Justice Surya Kant : This is a medical issue how do we decide it

Dr S Ganpathy: Recently a few weeks back CJI while addressing Bar Association Amravati stated that not parliament but constitution was supreme and to uphold the same judiciary intervene. This is a case about brain death and the word is a misnomer and this is a term coined to get organs from those who are not dead..

Justice Kant: It's impossible for me to grasp this medical language.Image
Justice Kant: We may agree with you... But there is doctrine of separation of powers... How do we direct parliament ?

Justice Bagchi: Issue is legislative. Right to abort, is a legislative right. Passive euthanasia was recognised by this court. How can courts replace with something else when legislature takes irreversible cessation of brain activities as brain death.. how can we change it ?
Justice Bagchi: We can only enforce constitution..this is not an unlawful intrusion into Article 21. We cannot second guess the legislature for defining what is brain dead.

In as much as the one time subscription fee of 1.2 lakhs currently payable by ESM officers need not be paid by such out-boarded cadets due to attributability or aggravation by military training

We have perused the figures that are provided. the amounts that are provided ex gratia are of 2017.
