Gavaskar personality rights: HC tells social platforms to act within 7 days

The Delhi High Court on Friday directed social media intermediaries to act within seven days on former cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar's plea seeking protection of his personality rights. Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora asked Gavaskar's counsel to first approach the social media intermediaries with his grievances. The high court directed the social media intermediaries to treat Gavaskar's suit as a complaint under the Information and Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 and take the necessary steps within seven days. The court said in case the social media intermediaries have any reservations to any weblink given by Gavaskar, they should inform him. It directed the plaintiff to provide within 24 hours the URLs in respect of which take down is sought to the social media intermediaries. Gavaskar approached the high court seeking to prevent the unauthorised use of his name, images, persona and likeness by social media platforms
