Aaradhya Bachchan: The Delhi High Court has restrained YouTube channels from sharing videos on Aaradhya Bachchan’s health. Aradhya is Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s daughter.
Aaradhya made headlines in Wednesday when she moved the Delhi High Court against a YouTube channel for reporting fake news about her health. She said in her plea that the defendant entities’ videos use the images of the plaintiffs (Aaradhya and Abhishek Bachchan), and other members of the Bachchan family to proclaim that Aaradhya is severely unwell or has been admitted to the hospital or has passed away.
Taking quick action, the court on Thursday restrained YouTube channels from sharing videos on Aaradhya’s health.
Breach of privacy, defamation and infringement of personality rights
The plea asserts three torts- breach of privacy, defamation and infringement of personality rights.
Dayan Krishnan, Ameet Naik, and Pravin Anand represented Aaradhya and Abhishek in the court. The Delhi high court has granted an order of injunction against the infringers and uploaders from uploading infringing videos and any such content which infringes privacy and gives false news about Aaradhya Bachchan.
The court has also directed Google and YouTube to give details of the infringers. This includes their contact number, email id etc.
Dayan argued in the court that these videos are false, fake, defamatory. Videos were uploaded with the end and intent of adding viewership and subscriptions to the channel, he argued.
Treat every child with respect
According to Live Law, Justice C Hari Shankar said, “Every child is entitled to be treated with honour and respect, be it child of celebrity or of a commoner.”
Speaking about the judgment, Ameet Naik said, “It is a landmark judgment on 3 counts – 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.”
