Delhi High Court ordered removal of 552 URLs on objectionable content related to Jhanvi Kapoor.
Delhi High Court has given a big decision in the case of obscene and objectionable online content related to Jhanvi Kapoor. The court has ordered removal of such content from 552 URLs, in which the identity and photographs of the actress were allegedly used in obscene manner.
However, the court did not accept the demand to remove about 6,884 URLs together. Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani said that the same order cannot be given on different types of content. The court clarified that every fan page containing only the name or picture of a celebrity cannot be considered illegal.
Jhanvi Kapoor had demanded removal of 6,884 URLs in Delhi High Court on 11 August 2026.
Court orders takedown on 552 URLs
According to the report of Times Now Navbharat, Jhanvi Kapoor had demanded action against about 6,884 URLs present on the internet in a matter related to her personality rights. Apart from alleged obscene content, these also included cases related to misuse of photographs and identification.
Delhi High Court initially considered the content on 552 URLs to be extremely obscene or pornographic and directed to remove them. The court acknowledged that the existence of this content online could cause irreparable harm to the actress. According to Live Law, the Court found Jhanvi’s prima facie case with respect to these 552 URLs to be strong and considered interim relief appropriate.
Outright order denial on 6,884 URLs
The court did not accept Jhanvi Kapoor’s demand to remove all 6,884 URLs together. The court said that such a large number of URLs are related to different types of content, so it would not be appropriate to give the same blanket takedown order on all.
The court pointed out the need to look at the disputed online content in different categories. The first category includes obscene or pornographic content, the second includes content that directly earns money from the personality rights of the actress, and the third includes content that indirectly promotes a product or service by using her name or identity.
What did the court say about fan pages?
The court made it clear that every fan page running in the name of a celebrity does not automatically become illegal. Such pages may contain content like pictures of the artist, videos, information related to films, praise or criticism.
According to reports, the court did not accept the demand to remove all fan pages and URLs on this basis. However, if an account posts obscene content or makes commercial gains by using a celebrity’s identity, action can be taken against it.
AI and deepfake content also became an issue
In this case, apart from general online posts, issues related to AI generated pictures, deepfakes and accounts using the identity of the actress were also raised. The court decided to look at objectionable and obscene material separately from the rest of the content.
