The Bombay High Court has granted actor Preity Zinta permission to institute a suit against Google LLC, Meta and other entities over alleged AI-generated deepfake videos, manipulated images, chatbot personas and other digital content. Justice Abhay Ahuja on Tuesday allowed Zinta's petition seeking leave to file the suit before the Bombay High Court and disposed of the matter. The proposed suit alleges infringement of the actor's personality rights, copyright and moral rights. Advocate Rohan Kadam, appearing for Zinta, submitted that the proposed suit seeks an injunction against the respondents, with claims relating to alleged breach of personality rights, copyright infringement, loss of goodwill and reputation, and violation of moral rights under the Copyright Act, 1957. According to submissions, the respondents had "created, uploaded, disseminated and made available to the general public from the various platforms" content infringing her rights. Kadam told the court that Zinta is an Indian national who primarily resides and works in Mumbai, arguing her goodwill, reputation and persona are situated within the court's jurisdiction. The court recorded that the allegedly offending content was being disseminated not only in Mumbai but across the world. After considering submissions, the court held that leave ought to be granted, ordering "that this Hon'ble Court be pleased to grant leave under Clause XII of the Letters Patent to enable the Petitioner to file the present Suit in this Hon'ble Court."
