Delhi High Court to hear three personality rights suits together

The Delhi High Court has clubbed suits by Vivek Oberoi, Janhvi Kapoor and Aaradhya Bachchan to set a single standard for personality rights. Hearings start September 30; the court has already refused blanket takedowns of fan pages, citing free speech.

• Court will hear three personality rights suits together from September 30
• It earlier refused blanket fan-page takedowns, with 6,884 URLs at issue
