Delhi HC steps up to protect a lawyer's identity
The Delhi High Court just made a big move for digital privacy, officially protecting senior advocate Vikas Pahwa's personality rights.
After reports of people misusing his name and photo online to impersonate him, the court said no more—nobody can use his name, image, or identity without permission.
Why this matters (and not just for celebs)
This kind of legal protection was mostly reserved for Bollywood stars before—think Salman Khan or Karan Johar. Now, it's reaching the legal world too.
The court ordered the takedown of multiple social media posts that used his image and identity without permission and asked Pahwa's counsel to file a list of the infringing links, saying she would pass further orders.
It's a win for anyone who cares about their online identity being safe from misuse.
