Delhi High Court Orders Takedown Of Unauthorized Images of Youtuber Bhuvan Bam
Bhuvan Bam, a popular YouTube content creator and web-series actor, approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights and restraint against the unauthorized use of his images by various unknown individuals and entities.
Justice Jyoti Singh, while hearing the matter on January 13, 2026, directed the takedown of the unauthorized images but declined to record any prima facie finding on the issue of personality rights at this stage.
The Court orally observed that on the very first date of hearing, it could not render a finding on personality rights. It clarified that protection was being granted since the images had been used without authorization, an issue that applies irrespective of any personality rights claim, while a determination on personality rights could not be made at the outset.
A detailed copy of the order is awaited.
Case Title: Bhuvan Bam & Anr. v. Inkwynk & Ors.
Case No.: CS(COMM) - 23/2026
