The Delhi High Court has stated that nobody can make use of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan’s name, image or voice without his permission. The bench gave the verdict while hearing a petition made by the actor through his advocates Harish Salve and Pravin Anand.

The advocates argued that a lottery is being run currently by using the name of Bachchan and his game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) and T-shirts are also being sold with his photos. They also pointed out that someone has even started a domain name on his name. As per Indian Express, Salve also informed the court that a fake mobile application called ‘Amitabh Bachchan Video Call’ is also being run.

The publication quoted the bench saying in its verdict, “The plaintiff is aggrieved by the defendants for unauthorizedly using his celebrity status to promote their goods and services without his permission or authorization. I am of the considered opinion that the plaintiff has made out a good prima facie case in his favour. The balance of convenience also lies in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant.”

On the work front, Bachchan was last seen in Rajshri Productions’ Uunchai earlier this month, which also starred Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Sarika and Danny Denzongpa.
