Delhi High Court Issues Notice to Salman Khan Over AI Firm’s Challenge to Persona-Rights Order

The challenge sets up a test of how Indian courts apply personality rights to AI voice synthesis.

Overview

  • The court took up a plea from a China-based voice-generation platform seeking to vacate a December 11, 2025 interim injunction.
  • Salman Khan has been directed to file his response within four weeks of the notice.
  • The case is scheduled for the next hearing on February 27, 2026 in Delhi.
  • The December order restrains unauthorised use of Khan’s name, image and voice online and directed social media intermediaries to act on takedowns.
  • The petitioner argues the restrictions curb its business of creating synthetic voice models, with similar celebrity cases also before Indian courts.
