3 min readHyderabadMay 29, 2026 06:15 PM IST The Delhi High Court has stepped in to protect Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya’s personality rights, issuing summons against unnamed defendants and signalling that an interim order would follow, after the court was shown the scale of misuse of his identity across digital platforms. The suit, which was heard on Friday, alleges widespread and systematic unauthorised exploitation of Naga Chaitanya’s personality rights by various entities through pornographic websites, AI-generated content, deepfake videos, defamatory material, and unauthorised commercial use of his identity.

However, many either failed to respond adequately or provided only partial compliance, allowing the infringing material to continue …

Supreme Court grants divorce even as wife wanted adultery proven first

The Supreme Court has dissolved a marriage despite the wife opposing divorce, not because she wanted to save the relationship, but because she first wanted to prove in court that her husband committed adultery. Supreme Court grants divorce even as wife wanted adultery proven first Observing that a marriage existing “only on paper” serves no meaningful purpose, a bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta on Wednesday dissolved the marriage, exercising its extraordinary power under Article 142 of the Constitution. The court said that the relationship between the couple had collapsed beyond repair and continuing the legal bond any further would merely prolong bitterness and litigation. “The ties of matrimony, in every meaningful sense, have long since been severed. In such circumstances, to compel the parties to remain bound in a marriage that exists only on paper would serve no legitimate purpose,” noted the bench while invoking its extraordinary powers to grant divorce. The case arose out of a matrimonial dispute between an army officer and his wife, a dentist by profession, who married …

SC grants bail to murder convict after noting ‘disturbing order’ passed by Orissa HC

New Delhi, Taking note of a “disturbing order” passed by the Orissa High Court, the Supreme Court has granted bail to a murder convict while voicing serious concern over its approach which junked his appeal on the ground of delay. SC grants bail to murder convict after noting ‘disturbing order’ passed by Orissa HC A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan said the High Court should have taken a “practical and sympathetic” view of the matter and condoned the delay to give an opportunity to the convict to argue his appeal on merits. The top court noted that the convict has not been released even once on parole or furlough and said that sending the matter back to the high court to hear the criminal appeal on merits will be a futile exercise. “We are convinced that we should release the petitioner on bail in the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case.
