The Delhi High Court has protected the “personality rights” of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, observing that the MP from Thiruvananthapuram is a “respected and recognised public figure” who enjoys rights over all facets of his personality.
In an order passed on May 8, Justice Mini Pushkarna restrained various persons and entities from reproducing, misappropriating, or imitating any facet of Mr Tharoor’s persona including his visual likeness and image, distinct voice, signature oratorical cadence and manner of speaking, and highly refined vocabulary.
