Responding to a petition filed by a China-based artificial intelligence voice-generation platform, the Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Bollywood actor Salman Khan in connection with a legal dispute over his personality and publicity rights. The High Court has asked Khan to reply to the notice within four weeks.
Delhi High Court notice to Salman Khan in personality rights case: Report
The notice is based on a petition seeking to quash the interim order passed earlier by the high court that protects the personality rights of the actor, including his name, image and voice. The next hearing in the case is to be held on February 27.
Salman had initially approached the Delhi High Court for legal protection against unauthorized use of his public persona. In December 2025, the court issued an interim order prohibiting the use of his voice and identity without consent. At the time, Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora directed social media intermediaries to act on his plea and warned that stay orders would be issued against any entity using Khan’s name, photo or other personal characteristics for commercial gain.
The current notice is a response to the challenge from a China-based AI voice-generation platform, whose business includes creating voice models. The petition seeks to overturn the High Court’s December interim order, which had banned the use of Khan’s voice and likeness.
